In Stitches welcomes Hyperbolic Algae who are the new pod in the ever branching Sydney Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef. We loved meeting everyone and were fascinated by the diverse interests and backgrounds of the group from Mathematicians, Environmental Scientists, Arts and Crafts practicioners. Memebers came from far and wide, Nowra, Jervis Bay, Canberra, Sydney and even Melbourne.

We would like to thank The Bundanon Trust and The Historic Houses Trust for having us, we loved working in the garden and learning the extraordinary history of the women who lived at Meroogal. http://www.hht.net.au/museums/meroogal

It was particularly special on the weekend of International Womens' Day.

We are working on the dates for our next workshop and will let everyone know soon. If your not on our contact list send and email to sydneyreef@gmail.com and we will keep in touch.
