About Craft Telling

Craft Telling (CT)  is born from the need to connect with others and the surroundings, is a safe space for people from diverse origins and backgrounds to meet, connect, and engage in dialogue through arts and crafts. CT aims to foster an environment where personal stories and shared experiences become bridges that bring us closer together. By weaving creativity with wellbeing, we create spaces that nurture personal growth, emotional balance, and connection to others. Through craft meetings, arts and crafts projects, team-building activities, and handmade pieces, CT promote a community where each encounter is an opportunity for exchange, meaningful connection, and a sense of wellbeing.

​​

Welcome to Craft Telling, a universe woven with interlacing stories, stories told aloud and written through embroidery and weaving. It’s a sensitive and close relationship with material (textile) that let the stories we share endure over time. Spoken words may be forgotten, and written words may fade from paper or the digital world, but textile, textile ages and transforms, yet it remains.

Hey there!

I’m Laura Méndez – the heart, mind, and hands behind Craft Telling, Originally from Colombia, I’ve been calling the Netherlands home since 2021. Craft Telling is my way of exploring and connecting with this new place, helping me rediscover my inner world, my surroundings, and the richness of cultures. Through CT, I create meaningful experiences that blend (performing) arts and crafts, making connections that go beyond words.​

​

Call me CRAFT TELLER

​For me, telling stories through textiles has become my favorite way to communicate and connect with a world that often forgets the value of time. Allowing myself a quiet, calm space with my materials feels like my own little revolution, I pause, I create, I am fully present with myself. The story behind is in the process, in the thoughts woven into each piece, in the joy of making the intangible real, and in overcoming that inner dialogue that judges allowing the act of pausing simply to reflect and be.​​​
