How do I become a member of Craftivist Collective?
We are not a formal, closed group. Pick your tools and join the collective by sharing your process, comments, #crafterthoughts, and final piece online with friends and followers to provoke thought and conversation – be sure to tag us @craftivists on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook to keep in touch and so that we can share your work to inspire new and experienced craftivists too. You can also write for our blog series “My Craftivism” by emailing us and you can set up an event or even a regular group if you fancy it.

How do I set up a Craftivist event?
There is a chapter in The Craftivist Collective Handbook on exactly how to do this. Available in all good bookshops and libraries.

I’m a student, can someone from The Collective answer my questions?
We run a small social enterprise supporting Craftivists around the world with free advice and support plus trying to stay afloat financially so we have limited free time sadly. However, there are lots of interviews with Sarah online in podcasts, articles and more for free as well as all the information you need in Sarah’s books.

Why do I have to pay for a kit from you rather than just copy the project from images I see on social media?
As well as providing the craft resources, our kits also provide essential and professional in-depth instructions, tips and #crafterthought questions to reflect on whilst you craft. All these resources are vital to do effective craftivism. Craftivist Collective is a small not-for-profit social enterprise, without your respect and financial support it cannot exist. You wouldn’t expect your local restaurant to provide you free tasty meals would you?

Can I set up a Craftivist group?
Of course you can! :) We suggest you test setting up a craftivism gathering and see if you think setting up a regular group is needed, wanted or if it’s better to only meet in groups if and when there is a specific campaign you believe that gentle craftivism could help protest. Setting up a group is a big commitment. We recommend you call your group ‘[Location] Craftivists’ so that you have autonomy and yet are still feel part of The Collective.

Are there any Craftivists in my area?
It’s difficult to say. We cannot share other people’s contact details with you so it is best you serve groups near you using online search engines, social media platforms and our Facebook Group ‘Craftivistis (set up by the Craftivist Collective)’ which is a great place to post a ‘hello’ to see if anyone nearby wants to join your gentle craftivism efforts - it’s a wonderful community to be part of, we promise!
