Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef Project
published on 26th May, 2009

A collaborative installation facilitated by In Stitches, this is a woolly celebration of the intersection between higher geometry and old-fashioned handicraft, as well as an ode to the disappearing wonders of the marine world. Part of a larger project created by the Institute for Figuring as a homage to the ‘Great One’, this riotously fleecy profusion of colour has turned into an unexpectedly popular, worldwide movement.**Learn how to crochet your own coral and join in the revolution! Everything you need to get started will be provided at the workshop, but the organisers also welcome any stray bits of wool or yarn you have lying around. If you’re not already inspired, have a look at this.
