The Share A Square Team conducted a set of webinars over the month to help people get started with knitting, stitching and crocheting. These webinars were introductory classes that turned a would-be classroom situation into a friendly roundtable hangout.
We asked a few attendees what they thought about their experience with the webinars. Here's what they had to say :
"The Share A Square webinar I attended was amazing. It not only gave me an insight on the basics of stitching but was also an opportunity to see and talk to close friends. It was an hour of just a fun activity and learning and I'd surely attend more in the future and also contribute to the cause."
"I attended my first Share a Square webinar with a couple of my peers on 16th August. As someone who was a stranger to stitching, I was really excited to explore a new frontier of art, all the while contributing towards a great cause. The event was hosted by Edha and Sahana, who were not only great teachers but also engaging conversationalists, making the experience all the more enjoyable. I loved spending my Sunday morning with the gals from Share a Square, and look forward to attending future webinars."
"The Share a Square webinar was a comforting and safe space to be in. Both Edha and Sahana were so patient with us because nobody else would wait ten minutes for someone to thread a needle. They were also so understanding of the fact that, to say the least, none of us were seamstresses, and it was a very wholesome experience because they also made it interactive and more like a hangout with friends than a task."
"SAS is such an impressive initiative started by people our age and it's so inspiring to see them do so well! Their webinars are really helpful and it feels great to finally have learnt something new AND help out!"
We have always wanted to give back to the community and the way we want to do that is by creating a community. These webinars are our humble attempt to take away the initial inhibitions of learning something new by converting it into a group activity. We understand how unappealing the idea of picking up a new hobby can be when we're surrounded by pressing deadlines and the pile of uncertainties the past months have left us.There's a pool of frustration drowning us all out and we can be sure that it is absolutely not fun.
We've been conducting these webinars to try to bring a little bit of that fun back and take some of the frustration away. An hour of learning something new. An hour of healthy conversation. An hour away from all the uncertainty and stress. A little something to turn the average Sunday afternoon into something productive, without the whole ordeal seeming like more work.
So, if you have an hour to spare, feel free to contact us, join a webinar and Share A Square.
