Artentwine – an event created by the West Tamar Arts Group – has run workshops throughout the West Tamar region for several months.
‘‘At the start of Artentwine I did some community consultation with craft groups throughout the Tamar and one suggestion was yarn bombing,’’ Wooltarts member Kitty Taylor said.
‘‘Wooltarts is a collection of people who responded to that call-out for people to knit.’’
Taylor said the group was comprised of a good mix of young and older people.
‘‘It’s been a lot of fun,’’ she said.
Fellow member Anne Young said weekly meetings with Wooltarts was a great way to spend time.
‘‘I’ve lived in the West Tamar for over 30 years and I’ve worked in Beaconsfield for a lot of time in that community,’’ she said.
‘‘I feel it’s so important to keep your interests up and your creativity – to have something to achieve creatively is such a buzz.’’
