Sewing, knitting, and crocheting circles have historically been community building and activist activities. As early as the American Revolution when colonists began spinning their own cloth to boycott British textiles, to abolitionist sewing circles where women gathered to exchange ideas and discuss political activities, up to the present-day--people have found the art of sewing to stimulate intellectual conversation and find community-based solutions to issues of their day!

Join the Grad Center, Graduate Knitting Club, Penn Women's Center, and Penn Wellness for a Stitch & B*?!# session centered around academic frustrations. Participants will learn a simple crochet pattern while also discussing any research, writing, or coursework frustrations they are experiencing. Engage your brain in a new way and see if you can stimulate new ideas and solutions. Staff will also be on-hand to suggest resources and provide support.

Join us December 3, 2024 from 3:00 to 5:00 PM at the Penn Women's Center!

This event is cosponsored by Penn Wellness, Graduate Knitting Club, the Grad Center, and Penn Women's Center.
