We are pleased to announce that the deadline has now been extended until December 09, so there is plenty of time to send us your yarn strips for the Yarn Forward project.
Yarn Forward is an instillation project co-ordinated and installed by ArtYarn and made by knitters and crocheters from around the world.
This blog documents the various stages of the project from receiving knitted and crocheted yarn strips, through to the various instillation stages of this evolving yarn project.
ArtYarn is a collaborative knitting and crochet project coordinated by visual artist Rachael Elwell.
ArtYarn formed in 2008 and continue to collaborate with local community groups, world wide knitting and crochet networks and arts organisations to create gallery installations, public arts projects and creative craft workshops.
ArtYarn are inspired by the versatility of knitting and crochet as an artistic media, as well as the traditional technical aspects of knitting and crochet. This supports the creation of highly crafted art works with a contemporary outcome.
All ArtYarn projects reflect the artistic, social and historical contexts of knitting and crochet, and focus on the tactility of hand manipulated processes. With this, ArtYarn explore individual creative expression and focus projects on devising ways to make knitting and crochet accessible through participatory making.
