Mad COVID was a shared space for grassroots mental health survivor / service user projects that started during the COVID19 pandemic. This website is being maintained for historical purposes – please note that none of its projects are currently active.
30-45 minute video tutorials that are available to watch on our Youtube channel and Instagram, as well as using the links below.
Each episode demonstrates a different idea for a craft project. They are designed to be easily accessible, including financially accessible (if not free), and low-intensity. We also have episodes which don’t use scissors or sharp objects.
If you have an art or craft that you’d like share and are interesting in hosting an episode of Mad Makers, please get in touch with us at madcovid@gmail.com (see episode 4 with @stitching_4_change for an example). We will support you throughout the process of filming, and can provide a tripod or memory card for you phone. We will also take care of all the editing at HQ for you!
If you’d like to share pictures of crafts that you’ve made and join our digital gallery, please send pictures to madcovid@gmail.com.
