Hyperbolic Crochet Reef Workshop with Curator Margaret Wertheim

Date: 20th February 2010
Time: 1pm - 3pm
Venue: The Science Gallery, Trinity College, Pearse Street, Dublin 2

At the workshop, participants will join curator Margaret Wertheim to finalise the process of making an "Irish Reef", which will be exhibited alongside the international crochet reef collection at Science Gallery in Spring 2010.

The "Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef" is a worldwide project that marries mathematics, marine biology, handicraft, community art practice and environmental consciousness-raising. People all over the world - from London and New York to Capetown - are collectively crocheting coral reefs, a woolly testimony to the disappearing wonder of living reefs that are being devastated by global warming. At the workshop, participants will join curator Margaret Wertheim to finalise the process of making an "Irish Reef", which will be exhibited alongside the international crochet reef collection at Science Gallery in Spring 2010.
