As part of the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef Project, the Institute For Figuring is making a plastic reef to highlight the problem of plastic buildup in the oceans. We invite you to join us for a plastic crochet workshop. Crocheters at all levels of experience are welcome, from first-time novices to experienced experts. No prior crochet skill is required but if you are skilled you'll pick up the possibilities quickly. Bring plastic bags, video and audio tapes, and come craft a Reef Monster with Christine Wertheim, IFF co-director.

The IFF is dedicated to exploring the poetic dimensions of maths and science through public lectures interactive workshops and exhibits.
