This group aims to promote, celebrate, and build community around the fiber arts, including knitting, crocheting, sewing, embroidering, felting, and needle-punching. This group is be a way for members to develop fiber skills, mitigate burnout, and connect organizers who normally work in different realms. We plan to have sessions dedicated to learning skills such as darning and patching, as well as creating agitpop for the chapter and other radical causes, both for visibility and fundraising projects. Overall, we believe having a fiber arts community strengthens our bonds as organizers and community members while curating a low-barrier space where organizers can exchange ideas and be creative. Our July meeting will be a relaxed session where people are encouraged to bring their current projects. For those who don’t have a current project—or are beginner learners—we will have yarn and needles to knit/crochet squares that will become part of the quilted blankets that we will donate to those in need this coming fall and winter. We will meet at Silver Branch Brewing, a brewery and taproom in Silver Spring, just a quick 2 minute walk from the Silver Spring Metro Station. We look forwards to seeing everyone there! https://actionnetwork.org/events/fiber-arts-group-monday-july-14th-7pm
