The Viral Project is a hands-on participatory project that can engage large numbers and a wide range of participants in exciting craft-making. Critical to the project is an exciting, fun, craft and inspired “viral casade” learning approach. The Viral Project will initially be a three year programme, focusing on different craft elements each year that act as a key theme and inspiration to investigate topical themes. The first year will focus on the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef, encompassing crochet, geometry and ecology.

If you would like to be involved with this project, please contact Katy Bevan at the Crafts Council:

Sorry, not been on here for ages to post anything up, which, I guess is a good thing ‘cos it sort of means I’ve been busy doing other stuff. Here, is what I came up with after a few days working at the Stitch and Craft Show at Olympia...Yet more hyperbolic crochet forms, working with stripped up plastic bags. This one is made with a bag from Marks & Sparks, and a few Accardo bags on the edge.
