Shitty Craft Club by Sam Reece
Amy Sedaris meets the nihilistic spirit of millennial/Gen Z humor with a healthy dose of Lisa Frank in Shitty Craft Club: a guide that allows burnt-out, pressured people to accept their imperfections and find inner calm with whatever shitty thing they can make. Did you know that you are a glorious and incredible artist? Wait, really? Well, you are. Through silly and deeply relatable tales from her life, Sam Reece, founder of the Shitty Craft Club, guides you through dozens of craft projects that give you permission to be as weird, wild, and wonderful as you want to be. Making a bunch of pom-poms so you can be your own cheerleader? That's a craft. Sculpting a rhinestone shrimp out of aluminum foil and a glue gun? A craft. Having literally one sip of water (congrats, by the way)? Yup, you bet - a craft. Here at the Shitty Craft Club, there's no limit to what a craft can be, because life is hard. So why not spend a bit of time gluing some trash to more trash if it makes you happy? This is your sign to embrace anti-perfectionism. Join us at the Shitty Craft Club!
Sam Reece is a New York City–based comedy writer and actor with a very serious crafting hobby. Reece has been writing and performing in NYC since 2011 and has written for Comedy Central, MTV, Buzzfeed, NBC, and Refinery29. In addition to performing in the comedy duo Girls with Brown Hair, Reece has appeared in prominent national advertisements including a spot in a Super Bowl ad for DoorDash, where she appeared alongside Daveed Diggs (Hamilton) and Super Grover (Sesame Street). Shitty Craft Club began in 2019 when Reece gathered a few comedian friends, rented out a community space, and hired a photographer to capture the crafts. In 2020, when in-person events were not possible due to the impact of COVID-19, Reece joined TikTok and began creating humorous craft videos. Less than one year later, Reece and Shitty Craft Club now have a large, growing platform on TikTok and Instagram. Her engaged followers and fans interact with her content by sharing their interpretations of SCC crafts and even creating informal SCC meetups. Sam continues to collaborate with NYC businesses such as the Ace Hotel and Milk Bar to host crafting events.
