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."

Leider konnten wir das MakeIt-Pocket vor Ort auf der #MakeIt Saarland nicht weiter mit euch bauen. Dafür fehlte einfach die Ruhe. Ihr könnt aber gerne Mittwochs im #HackerspaceSaarbrücken vorbei kommen, und mit @mase oder Matthias eins zusammenlöten.
