Supporting the Cosby Yarn Bomb for our fourth year.
One of our favourite events of the summer is the Cosby Yarn Bomb, an annual street art festival run by Community Interest Company, Gather Create Grow. This three-week exhibition celebrates creativity, community togetherness and well-being as over 50 incredible textile art installations created by the community for the community are showcased throughout the village of Cosby, Leicestershire.
We are proud to have supported the Yarn Bomb for a fourth consecutive year with our designs helping to bring this much-loved event to life. This year we created a cross-folded map which was developed from a handmade client prototype. The idea was to enhance the current playful and colourful style with a sense of discovery for the reader. To accompany the maps, we created a set of informative roller banners which were dotted around the village, welcoming visitors and signposting them to check in, purchase a map, and make a voluntary donation to the organisation.
We received such lovely words from Mel at Gather Create Grow:
“Creative62 are a dream to work with, generous with their time, flexible with deadlines and always creating fantastic designs. They always treat us like valued clients, despite helping us for free. Thank you so much to the brilliant team!”.
Our Creative Director, Andy Rudkin, shared his thoughts:
“It’s always a pleasure to support Mel and Nat in their efforts to pull together the Cosby Yarn Bomb. Having strong personal ties to the village makes accepting the call a no-brainer, and I’m extremely proud of the small part we play!”
We love doing our bit for the local community and supporting an initiative that champions creativity, community togetherness and well-being makes getting involved with the Cosby Yarn Bomb each year a very easy decision.
