A community art installation combining science, art, and advocacy |
|
|
|
Flex your crafting skills and raise awareness for our oceans! A new community art project is coming to the Duxbury Free Library this summer and you're invited to take part in it! Based on the Crochet Coral Reef Project, our installation will be made up of knit and crochet pieces, as well as crafted pieces in any other medium. We welcome all crafted contributions as long as they aren't made of degradable materials (like food) and are within measurements of 10" deep by 24" wide by 36" tall. We will be collecting pieces for the reef until June 30 and the installation will go up at the DFL in July. The goal of the project is to raise awareness of our ocean's health, so we want our project to also focus on sustainability. To that end, we have asked the community for donations of yarn and other crafting supplies and that is available for your projects as well. We have a page on our website dedicated to the project that also includes some patterns. Check it out here! |
 Come see us at the library on Mondays and Wednesdays in May and June for crochet lessons! Learn from our crochet savvy library workers in 10 minute drop in sessions. |
