IAP: Crochet Coral Reef

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. In this multi-day course, participants will work together with the artists to assemble crochet pieces made by the MIT community into a new unique exhibit on view at the museum. Meanwhile, participants will learn about the art of crochet and its connections to hyperbolic geometry and coral biology. Can’t make the IAP? Learn how to submit your own crochet coral here!
