Creative Lives teamed up with the Heritage Crafts in May 2020 to set up an online network to connect people working or volunteering in participatory crafts in all its forms across the UK & Ireland, with a particular emphasis on amateur and heritage crafts.

We co-host regular #CreativeNetwork – crafts conversations (on Zoom), that each focus on a different theme and include  guest speaker. We discuss issues and challenges, and find solutions. This inclusive craft community shares ideas, inspires and supports each other through the COVID 19 pandemic and beyond.

#Creative Network – Crafts is a supportive space to meet other people interested in crafts and share tips or resources. These free regular Zoom networking events are open to anyone leading, organising or hosting participatory crafts and workshops.

You can view an archive and resources from our previous #CreativeNetwork – Crafts conversations below.

Our next Zoom networking event will take place on:

• Friday 11 March 2022, from 10am-11am. Theme: a preview of the Making Of Coventry conference and fringe events. Guest to be confirmed.

In the meantime you are also invited to join our #CreativeNetworkCrafts Facebook Group, where you can continue the conversation, share ideas, ask questions, post videos, inspire and be inspired!

During this session there will be plenty of opportunity for everyone to get involved in the conversation, to ask questions, and to share knowledge and resources. We’re particularly keen to hear from other people that are involved with heritage crafts in Coventry and the West Midlands who are interested in sharing their passion and experience.

#CreativeNetworkCrafts is a supportive space to meet other people interested in crafts and share tips or resources. These free regular Zoom networking events are open to anyone leading, organising or hosting participatory crafts activities and workshops.
