Dear Supporters,
Your book should arrive in your hands very soon! So now is the time to tell you the next exciting pieces of news to do with the book...
I am going on tour and hope to meet you IRL:
Alongside the many events above (all in our new website here), I am co-hosting these 8 events below. All events include discount tickets for my patrons as well as 10% of seats will be able to be booked for free for those who cannot afford to pay the ticket price. No one will know at the event who has paid what. Book your tickets before they sell out. I would love to see you in real life and please do use these events as an opportunity to meet like-minded people in your community: Liverpool 7pm Tuesday 7th May: In conversation with retired BBC broadcaster Roger Philips about the handbook and focusing on how Liverpool has influenced my work. Part of Writing on the Wall literary festival. London 6:30pm Thursday 9th May: In conversation with Dr Rose Sinclair focusing on the process of gentle craftivism for wellbeing and social cohesion (hopefully filmed with your help here). Milton Keynes 6:30pm Tuesday 21st May: Chaired by Writer, Broadcaster and Author Robin Ince in-conversation with neuroscientist Dr Danbee Kim and myself about the benefits of craftivism on the brains of makers and powerholders (hopefully filmed with your help here).

Reply email sarah@craftivist-collective.com if you would like a free ticket for volunteering with me at one of the above events. Can you help? Please donate so we can film four special events for those who cannot attend our events and for students who need these resources:I am keen to film four of the events that have experts in four different areas that I will be in-conversation with. These filmed events are particularly helpful as universal and timeless online content for compassionate citizens around the world wanting to be happier, healthier and more effective in their gentle protests and for people who cannot attend the events in person. With your help we can offer these events free online afterwards as permanent content on YouTube and snippets on social media - particularly useful for students around the world who study our work in courses ranging from design, textiles, to politics and social change. Donate to film our educational events here please. In solidarity as always, your gentle protester and friend,
P.S. Thank you for reading to the end! ;p |
