About this Event

Stitching Therapy: The Science of Crochet for Health and Wellbeing is a fun hands-on science-backed workshop designed to explore how the repetitive, rhythmic art of crochet acts as a powerful tool for mental clarity, stress reduction, and cognitive health. Textile arts like crochet have been shown to induce a deeply restorative state akin to mindfulness meditation. This session bridges the gap between creative expression and neuroscience, offering participants both the theoretical understanding and practical skills to use crochet as a wellness practice.
