Coral Reef Community Project
The project is to crochet a coral reef: a woolly celebration of the interaction of higher geometry and handicraft, and a testimony to the disappearing wonders of the marine world. Come learn the simple techniques of hyperbolic crochet discovered by mathematician Dr. Taimina, and/or if you already crochet, come to be a part of the creation of this beautiful piece.
All participants will be acknowledged. Our projected finish date for the whole project is August 23, when the seascape will be displayed at the store. OMSI will display it starting Decmber 1st for 3 months. Bring in completed pieces any time the store is open. Donated yarn & hooks are available, or donate more to the project.
