Shitty Craft Club by Sam Reece

Shitty Craft Club is a uniquely empowering guide that allows burnt-out,
pressured people to accept their imperfections and find inner calm with
whatever shitty thing they can make.
Did you know that you are a glorious and incredible artist? Wait, really? Well,
you are. Through silly and deeply relatable tales from her life, Sam Reece,
founder of the Shitty Craft Club, guides you through dozens of craft projects
that give you permission to be as weird, wild, and wonderful as you want to
be.
Melding the nihilistic spirit of millennial/Gen Z humor with Amy Sedaris's
gonzo crafting style and a healthy dose of Lisa Frank vibes, the Shitty Craft
Club proves there's no limit to what a craft can be. Making a bunch of pompoms so you can be your own cheerleader? That's a craft. Sculpting a
rhinestone shrimp out of aluminum foil and a glue gun? A craft. Having literally
one sip of water (congrats, by the way)? Yup, you bet-a craft. Because life is
hard. So why not spend a bit of timegluing some trash to more trash if it
makes you happy?
This is your sign to embrace anti-perfectionism. Join us at the Shitty Craft
Club!
