A little triangle with a lot to say!
Weaving, felting, and the joy of textured making
Introduction
How amazing is process art when materials and choice come together for the best things. Colour. Attention. Joy. If you are after a soft and very satisfying week of making, welcome to Oh Yes, Yarn!
We set out baskets of wool, a friendly net to weave on, a few tennis racquets from the op shop, bubble wrap waiting for felting, string stamps for printing, and a pom pom corner that never stays quiet for long. It feels a little like a party and a little like meditation, which is my favourite mix.
From Smudge to You
Below you'll find the collection of creative activities we've used to bring this theme to life at Smudge. Each one is an invitation to play, experiment, and see where the materials take you. Pick and choose what excites you and adapt them to your own space.
