About Betsy GreerSayraphim Lothian

Sayraphim Lothian is a public artist who utilises as many crafts as she can lay her hands on. She's interested in craftivism and creative resistance in all its forms. Her main body of work revolves around kindness as a form of rebellion craft as a form of subversion and games in public to overturn expected behaviours. She is inspired by street art craft history and the rebellious in almost all its forms. Lothian is the writer and host of Craftivism 101 a new tutorial series on the Youtube channel MonsterThinks did her Masters thesis on Craftivism and is currently writing a book Guerrilla Kindness and Other Acts of Creative Resistance: How to Make A Better World Through Craftivism which will be published through Mango Publishing early 2018. She holds a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in photography a Graduate Diploma in Primary Teaching from La Trobe University and a Masters in Art in Public Space at RMIT Melbourne Betsy Greer is a writer a researcher and a maker who asks lots of questions and drinks lots of coffee. In 2002 she started writing about the connections between craft and activism two very (at the time) out-of-touch terms who needed a PR boost. Soon armed with the new term craftivism thanks to a friend at a knitting circle she began to write about how embracing your craft passion and creativity can lead to a more holistic life. In 2003 she started keeping track of all things craftivism at her online homebase craftivism.com. Lucky enough to be involved with the craft resurgence right from the beginning she continues to be excited when people take up knitting needles embroidery thread fabric or other crafty media in their quest to navigate and process the world around them.
