TeAda Productions is excited to announce CreAtive Healing Lab (CHL) which will take place from March through June, 2025. As part of this series, 7 all-star guest teaching artists will facilitate 7 workshops that combine the arts, social justice, and collective healing. The goal of CHL is to be a sanctuary-third place for community to gather, process current events, imagine sustainable futures, community-build, and heal through sharing space and creating art.
The fifth workshop of this series is titled “knitting as rest” and will be led by Nancy Lee.
About the workshop: Learn and practice finger knitting with fiber artist Nancy Lee. Creating and learning in community with no expectations of perfection or productivity combined with the physical act of finger-knitting with soft yarns offers healing during these tumultuous times. We will make cozy scarves while discussing radical rest practices, using Tricia Hersey's Rest Deck cards as prompts. Let's spend a Saturday morning dreaming and crafting together, connecting with like-minded people pursuing counter-cultural rhythms of radical rest.
About the facilitator: handmade by nensh is Nancy Lee (she/they) is a self-taught fiber artist from Los Angeles (also known as Tovaangar) and the Korean diaspora.
