The PomPom Project: Free Community Workshop by Katie Ruiz

  • You Belong Here LLC. 3619 El Cajon Boulevard San Diego, CA, 92104 United States (map)

The Pompom Project is a community art class that invites people to make yarn pompoms for larger art installations. This pompom project is part of a San Diego initiative to promote art and culture in San Diego.

At this event you will learn how to make pompoms with yarn and a pompom maker. You will have time to make several pompoms and take one home. The rest will become part of a large public art installation in San Diego.

Craftivism is a form of activism, typically incorporating elements of anti-capitalism, environmentalism, solidarity, or third-wave feminism, that is centered on practices of craft - or what has traditionally been referred to as "domestic arts".
