The Joy of Making with Meghan Fernandes and Lydia Gluck

43 minutes

Series two is starting with another 'pinch me' moment as I am joined by Meghan Fernandes and Lydia Gluck, the founders and creative directors of Pom Pom magazine! As you'll hear, discovering Pom Pom inspired me to become a garment knitter, which has completely changed my relationship with the clothes I wear.

It was such a pleasure to talk to Meghan and Lydia about their love of making and how this benefits their well-being on a daily basis.

Join us at our Live Webinar: The Healing Power of Knitting

Join us on Tuesday 15th July at 7pm BST for our first Live Webinar: The Healing Power of Knitting: unravelling the science behind knitting and mental health.

This is your chance to learn about the psychological theory behind how and why knitting feels so essential to our well-being. This is a webinar based on all the available research evidence into knitting and mental health, along with the themes from over 50 Why I Knit podcast interviews with knitters about how knitting has made a difference in their lives.

Paula and I have pulled this together and combined it with our knowledge of psychological theory to help explain how and why knitting helps.

This is an hour long webinar followed by a live q and a.

We would love for you to join us on Tuesday 15th July at 7pm British Summer Time. If you can’t make it live, you can still buy a ticket and access the recording at a time that suits you. You can get your ticket at https://creativerestoration.org/events/
