Craftonians! In Episode 75 of Joleen’s Happy Time Craftcast, I sit down with the wildly delightful and endlessly crafty Dari Litchman — owner of The Craft Salon Studio in Brooklyn and self-proclaimed “craftiest M**o you’ll ever meet.”
Together, we dive into why crafting feels like pure joy — from chaos crafting with cardboard, beads, and hot glue to the power of making something just because it feels good. Dari shares her love of thrift-store treasures, her obsession with trinket keychains and “self-congratulatory” badges, and what it’s like to build creative community in the heart of New York.
� Here’s what we’ll get into:
� The magic of chaos crafting and following your weirdest creative impulses
� Why adults secretly need the same crafty pep talks kids do
� Building community and keeping bigots far away from the craft table
� How crafting helps us stand fully in our power
� Dari’s current workshop adventures — and where you can join her next
