A Civic Inauguration of The Knitting Salon
Sat 16 Jan - designed by artists Trevor Pitt and Kate Pemberton.
As part of Arnolfini's Craftivism exhibition, knitters and non-knitters were invited to a free event celebrating the civic inauguration of an artist-led project The Knitting Salon - which actively promoted the sharing and learning of knitting skills through sociable events in public spaces.
For its inauguration at The Mall in Bristol, Salon Benches and accompanying trolleys created a stimulating learning environment that encouraged sharing experiences. A lot of people turned up to take part and all were intrigued by the Salon Bench, made by ladies in Knowle West.
