“Coral: Something Rich and Strange” at the Manchester Museum, UK.<\/p><\/div>\n

On November 22, 2013, the IFF was devastated by a fire in our building. The damage was extensive and the IFF is closed until further notice<\/strong>. We hope to move back in mid-2014. As in the aftermath of a bush-fire, we are treating this as an opportunity for new growth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
While our building is being renovated we are working on the book of our Crochet Coral Reef<\/strong> project,\u00a0a record of this world-wide endeavor.\u00a0Thanks to all who contributed to our Kickstarter campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
If you’d like to help us recover from the fire, the most helpful approach is to\u00a0contribute to our book-fund by\u00a0pre-ordering a copy. We are expanding the book to include additional essays, and several important writers have agreed to contribute. We’ve set up a\u00a0webpage<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>where you can pre-order copies<\/strong>. Or become a donor<\/strong>. Contributions of $100 or more will be listed on a dedicated page. <\/em><\/em><\/em>We plan to deliver copies in November 2014.<\/p>\n

The success of the Crochet Reef continues: At the Manchester Museum<\/strong> in the UK, the latest local reef is underway. The Manchester Satellite Reef is being made in conjunction with an exhibition called\u00a0Coral: Something Rich and Strange<\/b>\u00a0that explores coral from the perspectives of natural history, science, mythology, cultural history and art. A wonderful\u00a0catalog<\/b><\/a>\u00a0has been published by Liverpool University Press and contains an essay on the Crochet Reef by\u00a0curator Marion Endt-Jones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
