Australian Homespun – August 2019

(やまだぃちぅ) #1
Famous for her ‘yarn bomb’ installations, crochet artist Emma
Leith has been working with yarn for more than 15 years. Her love
of colour is clearly expressed in her work as she seeks to bring a
little joy to all who see it. Emma became an accidental expert in
adorning public spaces when her crochet displays first hit the
streets of Bath, England, in 2014, celebrating the Bath in Fashion
event. Since then her work has been displayed around the UK
and her new book, Mindful Crochet, published by CICO
Books, taps into the health benefits of this popular craft,
giving readers 35 crochet projects designed to help calm
the mind and manage pain. To see more of Emma’s
creative endeavours, visit her website or follow her
Instagram account for a daily dose of happiness!
