Everyone that contributed to the ocean ecosystem display received this limited edition Wesleyan sticker!
Patterns
Events
Our events were a fantastic way to learn how to crochet basic coral patterns. Materials were provided and no crochet experience was necessary. At our first two events we taught one coral pattern with enough time and materials to crochet one coral. We taught both patterns at our third event and provided enough yarn to crochet as many critters people could make!! Our fourth event is for Wesleyan faculty and staff only and we taught both patterns.

Grab Bags
Grab bags contain a crochet hook and enough yarn to make the crochet brain coral pattern in the atatched zine. They will be left in the Joe Webb Peoples museum, the science library and Olin. Feel free to pick one up and join the crochet effort! Once you finish your coral simply bring it to one of our drop off locations for it to be included in the final reef.
Locations: Scili, Olin, Joe Webb Peoples Museum (4th floor of exley), Theater Department, Usdan
Drop off Locations
Have you created a critter for the project and don’t know what to do with it? Drop off bins placed around campus give anyone the opportunity to contribute to the ecosystem display. Drop off bins are labeled “Craft Sea Critters Drop Off.” At the bin there will be tags attached to safety pins. Before dropping your creation in the bin, write your name on the front of the tag, your email on the back, and attach the safety pin. Putting your name and email on the tag ensures that you will get credit for your contribution. This is especially important if you are interested in the limited edition Wesleyan sticker that every contributor to the reef will receive.
Locations: Scili, Olin, Joe Webb Peoples Museum (4th floor of exley), Theater Department, Chapel, Usdan
