The Affordable Art Fair was last weekend and there was knitting and crochet mania. Eyeballs and blood went everywhere. It was all under the guise of workshops to coincide with National Knitting Week and create more gore for my Bear’s cauldron in the sculpture ‘A Job for a Bear’. Much fun was had by all and we converted many new people to the yarn arts. At the end of it all the bear was sold and has a lovely new home to continue working his cauldron magic in.
Here’s a picture of my stand in the recent graduates section where you can see the crowds flocking around the knitted plinth to watch my animation ‘I am Ahab’. The other is of me teaching a spot of knitting. And a big thank you goes to I Knit for providing yarn, knitting needles and crochet hooks to make the Horror Knitting workshops possible.
