Gwinnett County Craftivists

Welcome to the Gwinnett County Craftivists - a StoryGroup with the Collective! You're invited to a monthly craftivist gathering - two hours to make things, build community, and imagine how we show up for our neighbors. Each month we'll work on a simple creative project connected to care, mutual aid, and justice, with plenty of space to talk, reflect, and be human together. No crafting expertise required...just curiosity, kindness, and a willingness to make alongside others. Here is our spring schedule: | March 22 - Dignity in Action Focus: Meeting material needs. Project: Outreach kits (hygiene, snacks, seasonal items) with decorated bags, notes, and stitched or tagged messages. April 26 - Words that Hold People Focus: Caring for individuals. Project: Handmade affirmation cards with local resource information for youth, LGBTQ+ folks, and mutual aid recipients. May 24 - Visible Care Focus: Speaking together. Project: Individual quilt squares combined into a shared banner or quilt for Pride, mutual aid events, or public witness. June 28 - Collective Voice Focus: Speaking together. Project: Individual quilt squares combined into a shared banner or quilt for Pride, mutual aid events, or public witness. July 26 - Rest, Repair & Reflection Focus: Sustaining the work. Project: Personal journals and painted rocks with words or symbols of belonging, hope, and steadiness.
