Ran a pompom workshop in Bristol with my friend Susi Bancroft as part of Easton Community Centre’s Family Day, which included music, sales of craft goods, great food, vintage clothes and making stuff. Lots of takers for the pomming including parents and teenage boys, not that one should remark on it. It never fails to amaze me how many people have done this activity as a child; it has a universality similar to knitting, and in many countries – met a czech lady today who had fond memories of the two circles of cardboard – and we even had someone making love token pompoms, who’d have thought it. It’s alot easier with two straight pieces of card but used to be great exercise for fingers using the discs !
