--Bean2015 (talk) 15:21, 23 February 2017 (UTC)Celebrate women’s history month by joining CCCD and Art+Feminism to edit Wikipedia articles to include the influential work of women working in craft between 1941-1979. No experience necessary, Wiki experts on hand.

At the edit-a-thon, which is open to the public, we will create and improve Wikipedia articles about influential work of women working in craft between 1941-1979.

All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience needed. A brief workshop on the basics of Wikipedia editing will be offered at the start of the edit-a-thon. We will have source materials and a list of suggested topics on hand.

If you have a laptop please do bring it with you. If you don’t have a laptop don’t let that stop you, we will have a few extras and we encourage people to edit in teams.
