About The Persisterhood Workshop
Our Mission
The Persisterhood Workshop (TPW) is a volunteer-driven 501(c)3 educational charity. Our work serves to integrate individuals across the community and raise funds for local nonprofits.
TPW brings people together through free workshops that offer opportunities to teach and learn the art of crafting. We donate 100% of our sales to local nonprofits whose programs advance social, political, and economic equality for all. Together, we work to smash the patriarchy one handmade piece at a time!
We are especially grateful to the organizers of the Bloomington Handmade Market (BHM). As BHM’s Philanthropic Maker, TPW has access to market venues essential to our success.
Contact us if you are interested in volunteering/supporting our craftivist community or would like more information.
