The women of Art Yarn are launching a new project, and they’d love for you to participate. Here is their call to action:
ArtYarn invite you to knit or crochet decorative strips of yarn for the installation ‘Yarn Forward’ at the Manchester Craft and Design Centre.
To accompany the UK Craft Mafia’s exhibition, ArtYarn will be installing a yarn wrapping round the 1st Floor banister of the Manchester Craft and Design Centre to celebrate the many versatilities and techniques of knitting and crochet from around the world.
How to take part:
- Knit or crochet your knitted strip to measure 7cm wide x 40 cm long. Any colour, yarn and technique is accepted, the brighter and wackier, the better.
-Write a small note stating your name and location. Each knitted strip will house a small label stating the maker’s details.
- Send in your yarn strips to the following address (or drop them off in person to the craft centre office on the 1st floor) :
Manchester Craft and Design Centre
17 Oak Street,
Northern Quarter
Manchester,
M4 5JD
England UK
Deadline to receive yarn strips: 25th April 2009
If you would like your yarn strips to appear as part of the instillation for the UK Craft Mafia’s exhibition-opening event, please make and send them by March 17th 2009.
[...] A call for submissions Jump to Comments As you can see here, I do love a bit of yarn bombing. So I was very happy to hear from the ladies at Stitch and Bitch London that the Manchester Craft and Design Centre are asking for little pieces of knitting to be sent in to be part of an installation. Find out more here. [...]
ooh! Very cool, as I will be hosting a similar event in August for the design festival. Thanks for the heads up, I will love to be part.
