SUMMARY:YARNING: Tales from Birmingham at Unravel Festival
DESCRIPTION:Knitter and textile artist Sara Fowles will be hosting a talk about her YARNING: Tales from Birmingham podcast series alongside Craftspace’s Deirdre Figueiredo at Unravel Festival.  \nBirmingham based textile artist Sara Fowles was commissioned by Craftspace to collect five stories on the heritage of yarn\, knit and textiles from within Birmingham’s Black community. They include her own story of her relationship to knit and yarn; family memories; how she learnt the skills; what knitting means to her and how it became a passion and obsession in her life and work. She will talk about her yarn journey and what she learnt from women who took part in her podcast series as well as debunking some myths that ‘black women don’t knit’. \nImage: Portrait of Sara Fowles.
