Jessi and Leala, founders of Slow-Poke Collective, are deeply passionate about community building, the climate, sustainable fashion, and how crafting can bridge these topics. We launched the Slow-Poke Collective in 2024 to provide a space where people could learn new skills, meet others interested in climate optimism and sustainability, and have discussions around craft, textiles, circular economy, and the climate. Our events encompass a variety of fiber arts, and we source as many supplies as possible second-hand. For more information, find us on instagram (@slowpokecollective).
