Yarn Bombing


Calling all fiber artists, crafters, and creative souls! Let’s come together to wrap the SEFAA's newly renamed Gough Gallery, in a colorful explosion of yarn! Whether you knit, crochet, or just love the idea of adding a little whimsy to the world, we need your help to transform the space with vibrant fiber art.


What’s Yarn Bombing?

It’s typically street art with a cozy twist! Instead of paint, we use yarn to decorate trees, benches, railings, and more—bringing joy and creativity to public spaces.This time we will be doing it in the SEFAA Gallery!


How Can You Participate?


Bring your handmade knit or crochet pieces to wrap around objects.

Help us install the yarn art at the event.


No experience? No problem! We’ll have extra yarn and plenty of fun ways to join in.


Let’s stitch together a masterpiece and make SEFAA Gallery burst with fiber-filled joy! Grab your yarn, invite your friends, and let’s create something magical!


Register or just show up—we can’t wait to see you there!
