Craft Psychology and the Power of Making: A Conversation with Line Bruhn Andersson

In this first interview in the stitching conversations series, I talk with craft psychology practitioner Line Bruhn Andersson about the growing field of craft psychology and the research behind the benefits of making. Craft psychology explores how hands-on creative practices support mental wellbeing, focus, and motivation. Through workshops and teaching, Line brings this research into real-life making experiences. In our conversation we discuss: • what craft psychology is• the psychological and physical benefits of creative handwork• how craft psychology workshops work• why slow practices like needlepoint can be especially powerful today If you’ve ever wondered why activities like stitching, knitting, or making feel so grounding, this conversation offers fascinating insight into the science behind craft.
