Rosie’s Place in Boston’s South End was established in 1974 and provides hope and nourishment for poor and homeless women. An offshoot of that organization is the Women’s Craft Cooperative. Since 1996, it has helped women thrive and attain independence thru creative work. Using vintage buttons and Czech glass beads, staff and guests collaborate on a decorative line of accessories. Their successful microenterprise features the original Button Brooches, barrettes, bracelets, bookmarks and other items.
Staff and guests work together on their collectionHow much better that the road to self sufficiency can be a creative one for these women. Empowerment and opportunity thru craft.
