A KNITTED nudist village is set to bare all at the upcoming Creative Craft Show at Birmingham’s NEC.
The installation from stop-motion animation company Woolly Vision will be making its debut at the centre from Thursday November 4 to 7.
The fete features ‘nudinit’ characters – the quirky knitted inhabitants of Woolly Bush, who are bare-bottomed, British and bursting with double entendre, bringing much-needed laughter to visitors.
Visitors to the show, run by ICHF Events, can take a seat to admire the skill and join in the fun by knitting bunting to help decorate the village scene.
ICHF managing director Simon Burns said: “We are so pleased that the nudinits village fete is baring all at our Birmingham show! The attention to detail and knitting skill in the village fete is amazing and we hope it will bring a giggle to visitors. It is fantastic that our show can return to the NEC following such a long period of lockdown for us all. We know that our loyal visitors are keen to return to a live show and that lockdown has inspired many people to get creative with crafts – this show has something for everyone.”
Visitors to the show can also dive in to knitting, cross stitch, paper crafting, jewellery, calligraphy and dressmaking plus update their supplies stash with the latest products and creations from the world of creative craft.
Inspiration, ideas and tips from experts are also available with workshops and demonstrations including festive stitching, macrame sessions and brush pen workshops.
