Yarnbombing team gathers pace

'Yarntopians' Kay Graham, Emma Young and Del Bryant find themselves in a 'pompom field' of green while helping out at the Warwick Art Gallery studio on the weekend.

Emma Young, a freelance make-up artist, is spending her weekends volunteering for Jumpers and Jazz while working for an ABC crew, filming in Beaudesert.
She has just finished the latest ‘Love Child’ series and will return to Sydney to work on ‘My Kitchen Rules’, which will be shown after Christmas.
She is very excited to join in the preparations for the unique Jumpers and Jazz Festival and looks forward to her yarnbombing Warwick weekends.
The Yarnbombing team started their 2017 preparations in October 2016 and have been meeting regularly to knit and crochet for the Warwick Art Gallery foyer installation.
Loretta Grayson said a “huge thankyou to everyone who has been helping making the pompoms, squares, the quirky woolly pieces and helping with the working bees so far”.
“But with only two weeks to go, we need help with the last stage of installation,” she said.
“Why don’t you join the ‘Yarntopians’ at the Art Gallery and be a part of the preparations for the ‘Travelling Ravellers’ and you might see the ’secret’ that won’t be revealed to the public until the festival kicks off on Thursday 20 July.
Call Loretta on 4661 0434 or drop into the Warwick Art Gallery to find out how you can help.
Sue Nalder has also reminded folk that entries close for art@St Marks this Friday 7 July.
