At our events, we prioritize your comfort and safety while creating space for creativity and connection. Here’s how we can all help each other have a fun and safe experience. By practicing these simple safety tips, we ensure that everyone can focus on what truly matters—creativity, connection, and community.

• Ease In: If you're new or trying something unfamiliar, take your time to get comfortable. There’s no rush—this is your space to learn and create at your own pace.

• Stay Focused: Keep your eyes on your work to avoid accidents. It’s okay to step away from a conversation to center yourself—just let us know if you need space.

• Handle with Care: Always treat sharp tools with caution. Keep them safe and secure when not in use. Passing Scissors: Pass scissors with the handle facing the recipient, ensuring safety with every handoff.

• Ask for Guidance: If something doesn’t feel right with your supplies or equipment, don’t hesitate to ask for help. We’re here to support you! Organize Thoughtfully: Keep your space tidy and be mindful of where your tools are. Staying organized helps prevent accidents.

• Needle Safety: Use one needle at a time and store it safely when not in use. If you lose one, let us know—we’ll help you find it.

• Breaks Are Essential: Remember, textile work is meant to be relaxing. Take breaks when you need to, and come back refreshed and ready to create.

• Family Safety: If you're with family, especially children, please supervise to ensure everyone is practicing safe guidelines and respecting the space.

• Speak Up: If something feels uncomfortable or unsafe, please let the organizer know immediately. We want you to feel supported every step of the way.

• Feedback Welcomed: Your thoughts and feedback are invaluable. Each event helps us improve, and we love learning together with you!

Creating a warm and inclusive crafting club involves actively embracing, celebrating, and cherishing diverse experiences and identities within our community. It's about gently challenging any unconscious biases we may hold about what's considered "normal" in crafting circles and opening our hearts to the beauty of diversity. Just as each unique thread adds depth and richness to a tapestry, every individual brings their special touch to our crafting family. We all seek to belong, be included in our communities, and see ourselves reflected and welcomed. Inclusive language in our crafting club means more than just using kind and affirming words; it's about understanding how language can unintentionally overlook or exclude certain members, and making a conscious effort to ensure everyone feels seen and valued. When weaving a tapestry of inclusivity with our words and actions, we create a space where every member can feel at home. Come craft with us!
