A Job For A Bear

The Affordable Art Fair returns to Battersea Park this October at the same time that it is National Knitting Week (18th - 21st October). 110 galleries and dealers from across the UK and abroad will exhibit contemporary paintings, sculpture, photography and original prints. As part of the fair, there is a Recent Graduates Exhibition which features works from the UK's most promising talent and this year the unique showcase will include sculpture graduate Max Alexander's less traditional stop-motion animation combined with knitting. We are inviting visitors to participate in her 'A Job for a Bear' installation by knitting or crocheting eyeballs for the bear's cauldron during workshops hosted by Max over the weekend of the Fair.
