Temporary Crochet Work by Jessica Curtaz (Community Artist Services at Kensington Storefront)

This temporary installation of knitted and crocheted works were produced as part of a series of workshops led by artist Jessica Curtaz. Curtaz taught participants to knit and crochet using small hand looms. Participants created hats and other small pieces, and assisted Curtaz in creating these knitted and crocheted images that were on public display in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood.

Workshops took place at Mural Arts Philadelphia’s Kensington Storefront. The Kensington Storefront is a project of Porch Light, a collaboration between Mural Arts Philadelphia and DBHIDS. Partners include Impact Services, NKCDC, and Prevention Point.

Support for Mural Arts’ Neighborhood Storefronts & Hubs is provided in part by
the National Endowment for the Arts.
