Stitching Together network member Naomi Clarke is involved in a research project called Crafting During Coronavirus as part of her PhD research at the University of Bristol. She writes:
“This is obviously an incredibly difficult and tumultuous time for many people but I have also seen a real creativity coming through social media with people learning new craft skills, re-acquainting with old craft skills and sharing craft skills. This research seeks to explore people’s experiences, uses of, and feelings surrounding crafting during this time using diaries, images and writing. I am currently looking for participants for this research.”
