Building community through crafting: shifting our mindsets and changing our pace, for a healthy mid-week break. 

We'll gather in the lobby of Erwin to work on whatever portable crafting projects you're entertaining yourselves with these days. Knitting, crochet, and embroidery come to mind, but we're open to anything that engages your creativity and allows you to carry on a conversation while you work (if you wish). 

Don't have any craft projects currently? Not to worry. We'll have supplies on hand and friendly advice to share if you want to try something new. Or just sit and chat, to practice the art of conversation. Open to all campus community members. 

As this NY Times Well piece claims, "Creating stuff is good for your brain." Our campus is full of maker educators, both in the classroom and beyond. Let's engage our hands and our brains together this summer.

Brown-bag lunches are welcome.
