Lachrymose



We were invited to create a participatory workshop at Turner Contemporary to accompany 'Lachrymose' - a choral salute for those lost at sea.  This was the result, created with ships rope and sailors knots, and the addition of memories and remembrances

The Silence of Knitting


Artist Dawn Cole invited us to lead a skill sharing session as part of The Silence of Knitting.  This was followed by a very moving session in a sea front shelter, overlooking the sea where a zeppelin had come down in World War I, silent knitting, followed by spoken world at 11 on the eleventh of the eleventh

A Patch of Autumn in Dulwich Park


We were commissioned by Southwark Council to produce an event in Dulwich Park and the result was 'A Patch of Autumn'.  We spent three glorious days in the park, making knitted and crochet pumpkins and pom pom bats and spiders, whilst being sung to and joining in with the lovely Aimee Leonard - a series of knitting songs which led the way for a trail through the park at dusk to see all the creations installed...

Wool Week Window in John Lewis




We were lucky enough to have our knitting as part of the window display in John Lewis, Oxford Street, for Wool Week and Daisy Lowe was presented with a bouquet of daisies crocheted by our fair hands


Pushing Print (year 2)


We returned for a second year to Pushing Print and rather than printing 'blind' we coloured up our 'printing plates', created using yarn and crochet, to create coloured and embossed wallpaper prints

Nests and Birds in the Park


As the trees in the park were looking a little bare, we thought they needed some birdies and nests...

GEEK


Commissioned by GEEK (Gaming Expo East Kent) to create a fun making workshop for during the show, we came up with this pattern for a PacMan Ghost and positioned them around the town on a very wintry evening, within a couple of hours they had all be re-housed!
The workshop at GEEK was to make mini PacMan and Ghosties for finger puppets and drew a lot people who were very happy to sit and make in between gaming.
