Sharpie Al

Charlotte Alice Overton-Hart, or just Sharpie Al.

Champion of ageing and the old, and the experience and wisdom of older people, inspired by my 92-year-old gran, Nancy.

People are my favourite vintage. Amazing greys.

Knitted Lives gave 40 women between the ages of 60 and 93 the opportunity to work with Fiona Rutherford and Jenny Burns, textile artists, and writer Carol McGuigan. Over a year the knitters produced a total of 125 three-dimensional knitted objects representing stories from their lives.  “A fantastic experience for older people to contribute their expertise and experiences in a creative, empowering and supportive project.” Fran O’Brien, Quality of Life Partnership. Or in other words, knitting narrative. I like it.
