CRAFTING A GOOD

written by joanna lee designed by zach ayman

old yarn

Chelsea used to be a lot more ‘Nanna’ than ‘Nanna Chic’ – its main shopping hub consisted of pensioners doing their daily grocery shop and a few outdated-looking op-shops here and there. Yet hints of bohemian � air have been quietly in� ltrating the

school-grounds and street trees of the local enclave, one crochet blanket at a time.

Part-gra� ti, part-craft-project, adorning trees in knitted threads – or more commonly known as yarn bombing – is, put simply, vandalism at its most harmless and playful. � ough the movement (yes, movement!) often takes on a distinctively socio-political, subcultural edge in its usual urban settings, yarn bombing in Chelsea and its neighbouring Bonbeach has been adopted by locals hoping to interject art-play into a creatively-barren scene and revitalise community spirit through craft.

Operating through local community learning and development centre Longbeach Place, the Chelsea Collective gather fortnightly for yarn projects of ‘Nanna proportions’ – not only to clothe trees and benches but to share their mutual appreciation for DIY craft.

Local mum and yarn bomber Alicia Langford says the creative outlet has been a good forum to meet other kindred souls and to share skills.

“We can all go home and go on YouTube for tutorials but to actually spend time with people and connect with the people through being creative is really cool,” says Langford.

Sharing skills and creating a creative dialogue within the community seems to lie at the heart of it all. Although a self-admitted knitting and crochet novice, Langford is far from a passive consumer of craft; wishing to expand the spirit of yarn bombing beyond the streets, she’s responsible for creating ‘Crafternoons,’ a weekly yarn bombing and craft session for kids and the wider school community at Bonbeach Primary School.

For Langford, ‘Crafternoons’ is also an ode to the lost art of ‘Nanna’s knitting basket’ for children born in the technology age. She muses that kids this generation are unable to comprehend the mentality of the natural or the handmade, citing the example of children grimacing at the idea of eating fresh produce grown in the school’s own veggie patch.

Yarn bombing’s inherent relation to the wholesome creative fun of yesteryear, then, seems to make the kids more grounded and in tune with the environment –rather than the screens– around them.

“It’s just opening the kids’ eyes up to looking at just everyday objects and what we can create out of them and sharing ideas in that way,” Langford explains. “We’ve got them collecting old kitchen utensils and tins and all di� erent bits and pieces and getting them to look at what we can do from a creative aspect.”

Ever got a piericing and heard things like “But you’re so pretty, why did you do that to yourself?” or “You’ll regret that later”? What people don’t understand is that your piercings shape your identity. People get piercings for many reasons: self- expression, artistic freedom, addiction or a visual display of a personal narrative.

We create our individual identities through our language and actions. Getting pierced is just one of the ways and it inables us to show our freedom of expression and it is what makes you unique. Has anyone asked every asked you “Why would you get them if they hurt you?” And you wanted to scream and tell them that it’s worth the pain. Happens to the best of us and

people just don’t get that the piercing is now a part of you. So what makes your piercings stand out? It’s the jewelry. Take belly piercings for example, you can either put in a cute little dream catcher or a batman, same piercing but the jewelry tells a completely different story.And the question is, are you going to listen to inadequate advice from ransoms or just be yourself? So next time if someone asks “isn’t it going to look ugly?” or “you mutilated your body” just walk away; if they don’t like it, they deal with it.

So the answer is yes it does shape our identity.
