Community Crochet Coral Reef Workshops (Dec 27)

Join the MIT Museum Satellite Reef, part of the worldwide Crochet Coral Reef project! The MIT Museum Satellite Reef—part of the worldwide Crochet Coral Reef by artists Christine Wertheim, Margaret Wertheim, and the Institute for Figuring—is a communal art project entailing the creation of a “coral painting” made entirely out of crochet. Community Crochet Coral Reef workshops will be held at the MIT Museum by experienced museum educators. Participants will learn the art of crochet, as well as its connections to hyperbolic geometry and the biology of corals. Corals crocheted out of yarn and plastics will be assembled into a wall mural in early 2027. This event is free with museum admission, registration is required. Recommended for ages 14+, minors must be accompanied by an adult (21+) for the duration of the workshop.
