A collaborative project between the Espanola Fibre Arts Festival and the Espanola Public Library will support the creation of a massive fibre art installation that will be called ‘A Day in the Park’.
Fibre artists and enthusiasts will be creating and contributing elements that represent their experiences enjoying park spaces.
All components of the installation will be created from fibre – yarn, fabric, wood and paper and the results will culminate during this year’s 7th Annual Espanola Fibre Arts Festival in October.
The installation format and locations will be revealed just before the festival.
Meetings will be held at the Espanola Public Library the 2nd Wednesday each month from 6 – 8 PM beginning April 11th If you are interested in learning crochet or knitting techniques this fibre art project may be of interest to you. Each meeting will feature patterns, information and inspiration for the creation of bugs, birds, creatures, picnic fare and other ‘park’ inspired elements.
No experience is necessary and everyone is welcome! Participants 12 and under accompanied by an adult please.
The Espanola Fibre Arts Festival will be accepting donations of yarn, fabric, knitting needles, crochet hooks and other fibre arts related materials to be shared within the collective.
Donations can be dropped off at the library.
