Artist Talk and Knit In

To highlight the current Branching Out: Taking Wing exhibit at Waterfall Arts, artist Karen Jelenfy will hold a knit-in and give an artist’s talk on Saturday April 3 from 10am to noon. During the Branching Out mentoring project  Jelenfy worked with Katie Wolfrum on hand knitted “nests” and watercolors.  Jelenfy, owner of Village Books in Washington, describes herself as an artist, reader and obsessive knitter. She will discuss the Taking Wing exhibit, the mentoring process and the collaborative installation she and Wolfrum created “Swifts and Swallows”.

Artists and knitters are invited to sit in the gallery, hear the talk and knit together. Those interested can try out simple 3-D knitting, with guidance from Jelenfy. Small amounts of interesting yarn will be provided. Bring your sticks! All levels of knitters are welcome. The event is free and open to the public.
