The Globe has launched a new Craft Club, a free biweekly series of livestreamed events teaching hobbies including embroidery and soap-making. Hosted by feature writer Jana G. Pruden, the classes start next Tuesday, Jan. 19, at 7 p.m. – first lesson, making cheese. On Feb. 2, Craft Club participants will learn to make soap. Join our Facebook group for updates and discussion, and watch the classes live at tgam.ca/craftclub. In this week’s newsletter, we look at how design festivals are adapting to a season of online events, our winter survival guide has suggestions for improving your life at home over the cold months and we have tips for protecting your hands from dryness.
