Handmade Happiness
A colourful stop motion animated documentary exploring how a passion for craft helps four makers overcome adversity.
A carer finds purpose in knitting and making yarn. A health worker starts a men’s knitting circle. A new Tasmanian inspires others by teaching ceramics, and an arts worker sews old textiles to create new items and new hope for a sustainable future.
