part of the Gobsmacked Festival
The Crafty Graffiti Project establishes a
creative forum for anyone who has ever carved their initials in a tree or
taken a magic marker to a bathroom wall. A large soft fabric base erected
on the gallery wall allows anyone with an itch to stitch or other
crafty urges to participate in this public crafting event. Visitors are
encouraged to bring their own textiles or paint to add to the wall. Onsite
materials are also provided. Art parties on both Friday and Saturday (August
27 and 28, 8 to 11 p.m.) are guaranteed to up the creative ante.
Translation: there will be sheets of fabric hung from the wall which we will
be turning into a soft crafty mural.
Glue guns, sequins, scissors, fun fur, etc., will be provided. BYO ideas.
This might be the last event of the summer, so everyone who's been lurking behind the scenes is
strongly encouraged to come down and participate.
The space will be shared with the Comic Jam, so there will be lots of ways to get involved.

We're a small (and growing)
grassroots crafty collective rebelling against the culture of
mass production. Not only are the things we create our own, but in this
glossy, fabricated world, the simple act of creation is transcendent. I.e., we make things because
it makes us happy.
