The Quiet Art of Femme Craft
We’re gearing up for our very first event as a CIC and here’s everything you need to know. 💌
Centered around the theme ‘The Quiet Art of Femme Craft’, our launch event is a community gathering where we celebrate creativity rooted in care, slowness, and shared experience. Inspired by traditional and contemporary femme craft practices, from stitching and mending to journaling and handmade objects, the event creates a welcoming space where making becomes a collective act.
Our collaborators have been carefully curated to share different expressions of femme craft: from sustainable clothing and handmade jewellery to punch needle work and textile arts. The event is accompanied by a small workshop station and live music, creating a warm atmosphere that encourages conversation, connection, and meaningful networking.
This is an invitation to slow down, support independent creatives, and experience craft as community.
Hosted by Open Salotto CIC – a community-led, non-profit organisation – the gathering reflects our values of accessibility, sustainability, collaboration, and mutual support. We believe creativity should be shared, not gatekept, and that community spaces should feel inclusive and creative.
