Join the international crochet colony. The Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef (created and developed by Margaret and Christine Wettheim, of the Institute for Figuring in Los Angeles) fuses science with mathematics and fine art. The reef is constantly updated by an ever expanding group of participants from around the world. The Fitzwilliam’s reef will be growing during Endless Forms, eventually becoming part of the UK reef.


Learn to crochet, or help others get started, find out about Darwin’s work on coral and discover what coral and hyperbolic space have in common. Wool and hooks provided or bring your own.


FREE with support from The Crafts Council.
