You are Invited to Share your 'Worldwide, Works of Woolly Wonder' @ 'Knit Corsham' - Part of the 'Corsham Festival'.
Information
Secretly, on the evening of 8th June 2012 'Knit Corsham' will be installed in the small, market town of Corsham in Wiltshire, England 'like' us on facebook.
We hope for jaw dropping amazement on the morning of 9th (International Yarn Bombing Day) and we think we can get lots of positive media coverage.
This installation will be part of the Corsham Festival, which runs from 14 - 17 June 2012 details here.
If you would like to make your mark - we'd love you to join with us!
Measurements can be found here and are updated regularly, as pieces are either promised or completed.
Please send your works of woolly art to:
Diana Hatton, The Pound Arts Trust Limited, The Pound, Pound Pill, Corsham, Wiltshire, SN13 9HX, England.
Unfortunately we cannot return work – it will be washed and donated to a local animal rescue centre for bedding or (with your permission) auctioned off to raise funds for the new emerging Artist's Studios being built at The Pound.
We would, however, LOVE to acknowledge any contributions, so if you would like to send a message and your ‘knit name’ we will find a way of displaying this.

Spencer, I can't wait to see your coral piece. I won't be up at The Pound until next week, when I am sure it will have arrived (I'm so excited to see it - it's like Christmas). Thank you for taking the time to join in the fun of Knit Corsham.

For our wonderful Knit Corsham contributors from overseas - we only have, just over, two weeks until installation. Time really is flying past. The UK also has a couple of bank holiday (public holidays) during this period, so please bear this in mind when when choosing your date to post your pieces off ♥ And a GIANT 'THANK YOU' for all the amazingness that your creating for Corsham x
