Not just 'Grandma Hobbies' - #DIY and #woodworking ( #GrandpaHobbies ?) are making a comeback as well!

The Comforting Resurgence of ‘ #GrandmaHobbies ’

In search of calm and community, new generations are learning centuries-old skills.

By Kate Brennan, July 18, 2026

Excerpt: " 'Younger generations’ appetite for hands-on activities — what the internet has dubbed 'grandma hobbies' — has reached far beyond Michigan. In North Carolina, John C. Campbell Folk School, the oldest folk school in the country, has a long waiting list for its teen program; just a few years ago, it was struggling to fill all the spots. Ely Folk School in Minnesota has also reported a post-pandemic influx of younger volunteers.

" 'Grandma hobbies reconnect us to ourselves,' said Cal Newport, a professor of computer science at Georgetown University who writes about technology, focus and productivity. 'These activities are hard, in that they require time and concentration to master. But they also offer clear and fulfilling rewards.'

"Mari Sanborn, the communications coordinator for the Folk School Alliance, a nonprofit that supports #FolkEducation across the United States and Canada, said learning #handicrafts offers a way to reclaim a sense of community as well as #TraditionalSkills.

" 'It’s a way of holding onto things that might one day be lost,' she said."

I am forty-two years old and am totally blind. I live in the northern part of New Jersey. For seventeen years, I have wanted to learn traditional handicrafts, with the eventual hope of earning a living from them. My interests include basketry, mat-making, chair caning, textile weaving, broom-making, soap-making, rug-hooking, pottery, and related work.

I am not a complete newcomer to crafts, but my experience has been incomplete. As a child, I wove many times on a cardboard lap loom and made tissue-paper flowers. As an adult, I took a few melt-and-pour soap-making and pottery classes and wove on an inkle loom. However, I have never had the opportunity to practise these crafts independently. I also began learning chair caning, but had to stop attending because of scheduling difficulties with Access Link, New Jersey’s paratransit service.

Having said all of that, has anyone here ever been involved with any of these crafts, or perhaps something I didn't mention? If so, where were you taught and how i.e. all hands-on, or with books? If you sold/sell them, how did/do you do so i.e. through an organisation that sold/sells your products for you, a workshop or factory, at a traditional flee market or craft fair, online via Etsy or Ebay, or do you have your own website? Did any of you ever participate in a home industries program? If so, what was it like? Would you be able to give me any general tips or advice regarding your craft?

How Artisans Are Recreating the American Revolution

Weird request: any ideas for a small window prop? Need some kind of bar about 7 inches (17.8 cm) long, maybe 1 inch cross-section. (Ideally length adjustable; but not vital.)

I'm installing a bedroom air conditioner—in a vinyl window. Don't trust screws in vinyl.

With AC in, the window I want to "lock" down on the AC has about 7 inches clear for a prop above. Most people use wood; any other ideas? Online has multi adjustable window security bars: all too long.

back to the original socks in this thread. heel is done so i can get bit better photo.

i think the reason why i knit like this is that my AuDHD ass doesn’t get bored. each row & the end result is unpredictable. i was not looking forward to these bc i thought it would look plain & boring! got that blue striped yarn from a lot i purchased. would not have bought it otherwise.

but surprise, they are fucking gorgeous. #ActuallyAutistic #knitting #craftodom #handicrafts @autistics

This looks fun. 🧶

I'm preparing a new #blog article feeling torn between two irritants:
🟢 #Unfinished #handicrafts and an #Instagramisation declaring #culturalHeritage like #textileArt to be rubbish and trying to train people to conform to creativity-destroying #perfection.
🟢 My fury at an AI industry that is now destroying #creative people. Example #podcasts: you have no idea what kind of emails I get from that industry! It's scary.

I try to take care of and invisibly and visibly mend my clothing so it would last in use as long as possible. This practice took a whole new step as I tonight started experimenting with how I could mend some regular cotton socks.

I have a pile of old, more or less worn down socks that have been waiting for me to try to figure out how they could be fixed. This first experiment is reinforcing a spot which does not yet have a hole with some sewing thread.

This is very time consuming but also kinda satisfying. But already now I'm learning that it would definitely be worth it to do it when there is just a smaller area in need of reinforcement.

New custom made belt. I really like this pattern. For me they look like dragons.

When I get an idea I usually have to test it in practice straight away.

Now my old holster has a new look.

Making of bag straps.

Pattern is from the book Applesies and Fox Noses - Finnish Tabletwoven Bands and it's called Corners of fox nose gardens.

I love these names that the patterns have in this book 🦊❤️

Thank you for the authors Mervi Pasanen and Maikki Karisto.

Hey! I'm tablet weaver from Finland. In this page I will post my on-going works, custom crafts and finished products. I also share little about my life in small cottage in the middle of Finnish forest and my perspective in world. Now the first thing I have to do is get inside this Mastodon.

Feel free to contact me. I am happy to sell my weaving items and I make custom work also.
