We will be part of a workshop with artist Barb Pearson at The Reach Art Gallery in Abbotsford on May 31st from 1 to 3pm. We hope to see some of you there!
If you don’t live in British Columbia, or Canada for that matter – there are two great projects that you can contribute to this month:
PS122 Gallery in New York City is running YARN THEORY
As part of the upcoming Yarn Theory exhibit at the PS122 Galleryin New York City’s East Village, we’re inviting knitters and crocheters of all stripes to tag the big old wrought-iron fence that rings the building with knitted or crocheted “knit-fiti”.The building has been scaffolding-ed up for years, and it needs beautiful crafty people like you to pretty it up. Please join us in festooning PS122 with yarn! The fence-decorating has already begun. We hope to have a lot more done before the show opens on April 25. In order to do this, we need you to add to our project! We have supplies, generously supplied by Lion Brand Yarns. All are welcome to participate any time between now and May 17, when the show closes. If you’d like to join the fun, please contact organizer Karen Eubel, keubel at hotmail.com, or DanielYuhas, daniel.yuhas at gmail.com
And, the ever lovely women of Art Yarn (UK) have started a new project called Knitted Nature.
Artyarn invite you to take part in the Knitted Nature project, an installation work at Touchstones Rochdale Art Gallery, for UK DIY. We are now collecting knitted and crocheted leaves and flowers from around the world which will contribute to a hanging installation to be displayed in the En Plan Air exhibition from June 2009. You can use any leaf or flower pattern you desire, any colour
and texture you wish. Make sure you include your name when you send them to us as you will be credited alongside the installation.
Now there, no excuses – get thee to the hooks and needles!
this is beutiful too..so much going on in the world…
