Hyperbolic Crochet
Currently on show at the Science Gallery Dublin is The Insitute for Figuring’s fantastic ode to maths and the fragile coral reefs in our oceans. I facilitated and coordinated some of the Irish People’s Reef together with the wonderfully creative Stitchlily. Our Irish reef is exhibited along with the Wertheim Sister’s Wolly Wonder and it is open until June 11th. Get into it!
We would love to travel the Irish People’s Reef in Ireland. If you know of a gallery, museum, community centre or any other suitable space that have regular exhibitions and would be suitable for exhibiting this woolly wonder we would love to hear from you. Please drop your mail to: irene@yarnclasses.com
