Quiet Online Art Hive

Crafted Connections is a quiet space to work on your creative projects while in the company of other makers. There are many reasons why gathering online is beneficial and at the top of the list is accessibility. This is a safe and low-barrier way for us to spend time together.

Within neurodivergent communities are the concepts of "body doubling" and "parallel play", both of which speak to being together without a lot of small talk. It's a gentle and inclusive way to socialize for those of us who are neurodivergent or for anyone who craves soft, quiet spaces.

We're, basically, spending time with each other while doing our own thing. I play over here and you play over there. Sometimes we chat but mostly we're going about our own projects with our mics off. It's a way of spending time together when you don't want to be alone but aren't up to full social engagement.
