Part workshop, part performance, and part exploration, Yarn Around combines movement and music with lots and lots of yarn to share stories and create connections across generations and cultures. Experience this unique blend of knitting and dance, with visual arts and music. Start the afternoon at 1pm in Clayton's Community Living Room with finger knitting, pompom making and storytelling with Foolish Operations and Surrey Libraries. At 3pm move to Clayton's Performing Arts Studio for percussion and dance workshops with Foolish Operations dancers and musicians. Participants of all ages from babies to seniors are invited to discover and explore alongside community mentors and artists.
