Fifty artists spent seven months combining yarn crafts with the décor of yesteryear to create this truly original piece: a crocheted kitchen. The cozy scene includes a table set with Thanksgiving dinner, a sink with counter space, a stove range, a refrigerator, a China cabinet and an assortment of wall decorations. Of course, each item is covered with yarn — from the salt and pepper shakers to the telephone to the lamp shade. The artists engaged a variety of techniques including knitting, crocheting, felting and weaving to achieve the masterpiece. They took some creative license and got inventive when improvising the eclectic kitchen’s details. For example, a white yarn tassel that hangs from a yarn-wrapped faucet simulates a spray of water. The project is on display at Warwick Art Gallery in England as part of the city’s Jumpers and Jazz art festival.
