Forge Ahead Arts is looking for crocheters to help create a small yarnbomb project in celebration of Artober.
The “Friends” sculpture in Canyon Country park will be adorned with colorful yarn accoutrements. The piece is relatively small, but as always Forge Ahead Arts likes to include as many yarn artists as possible in the work, so individual pieces will also be small and quite easy to manage within a month’s time.
