Yarn Mural Creation Watch Party

Livable Buckhead is excited to team up with The Bakery, Hands on Atlanta and Siemens to create a yarn mural project on PATH400!

Inspired by yarn bombing, a public art technique that deploys knitted and croqueted yarn creations onto objects ranging from street lamps, trees, park benches, vehicles, and already existing public art, this yarn mural will playfully engage passersby. This technique is used to bring brightness and joy into otherwise commonplace settings. For this project, we will be using yarn in place of paint to create a comprehensive mural design on a chain link fence. Working in teams, in-person volunteers will use spools of yarn to wrap the design into the chain-link fence running along a portion of the multi-use trail just north of Miami Circle in Buckhead. The finished yarn mural will be a colorful design of organic shapes, brightly echoing nature and enlivening the PATH400 trail.

We invite you to watch as the mural is created, either in-person or via livestream.

In-Person: Join us on PATH400, just north of Miami Circle, from 10am to noon and watch the yarn mural come alive as volunteers from Siemens and Hands on Atlanta weave their magic. The event is outdoors so masks are not required, but please respect social distancing guidelines.

Livestream: Can’t make it in-person? No problem. Join us anytime from 10a to noon on Facebook Live as we stream the progress. Make sure to like Livable Buckhead on Facebook so you’ll be notified when we begin.
