Events, retreats, workshops.
If you are a crafter, or part of an organization that supports art and craft through workshops, residencies, creative retreats, exhibitions, or shared making spaces, we would love to hear from you.
Every other week we recommend women led events, workshops, retreats, and exhibitions that bring care, depth, and meaning into our shared cultural life. These gatherings invite connection with people who value thoughtful making, learning, and genuine creative exchange.
By sharing these recommendations we hope to collectively support more inclusive structures where independent cultural work by women can grow with care and resilience over time.
