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.

We extend additional gratitude to the Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County for their ongoing support and recognition of our commitment to the people of Monroe County.   Their donation reinforces our fundraising potential which in contributes to the overall well-being of our community.
