A curious interactive art exhibition opens on Saturday in an empty shop at The Sovereign in Weston Super Mare.
Normally in an art gallery there are signs saying, ‘Do not touch the artworks’. Here, however, you’re invited not only to touch but to take part. Climb into Alyson Minkley’s suspended, cocoon-like installation and add some stitching to its canvas surfaces; become a living sculpture by wearing Lou Baker’s bright, quirky knitted sculptures or wonder as you wander around Juliet Duckworth’s installation with lights and sound…. and make sure you don’t miss Social Knitwork!
Community, connection, creativity, colour and conversation!
