Hannah Thiessen has been obsessed with textile arts since she was a young child and continues to share her passion for beautiful, functional crafting as a knitter, designer and author. In 2007, she published her first book, Slow Knitting, which introduces five basic tenets that encourages a positive and mindful approach to the making process. In her new book, Seasonal Slow Knitting, Hannah delves deeper into these concepts through a series of essays, projects, and patterns that explore the life of a knitter throughout the year.

Join us for an intimate Zoom conversation with Hannah Thiessen as she discusses her inspiration to create the slow knitting tenets, how she published her two books and why she encourages others to create a beautiful and diverse crafting community. Question and answer to follow the presentation.
