The Christchurch Maths Craft Day: Celebrating connections between Maths and Crafts

Maths Craft are excited to announce the return of the Christchurch Maths Craft Day, on Sunday, May 23, in The Great Hall at The Arts Centre. Come along to The Great Hall and join us to discover the maths behind craft and the craft behind maths.

The day-long celebration of maths will feature a range of craft creation stations and public talks by mathematician crafters, and promises to engage people of all ages. Knit a mathematical knot, crochet a Möbius strip, fold an origami octahedron, and flex a hexahexaflexagon. Volunteers with backgrounds in mathematics and crafting will be on hand at all times to answer questions and assist people with their creations. Our guest speakers will present a series of maths and craft themed talks throughout the day, ranging in topics from fractals and pleating to crochet and chaos.

The Christchurch Maths Craft Day is free and open to everyone: experts and amateurs, maths-fans and maths-phobes, the crafty and the curious.

Date: Sunday May 23
Time: 10am-5pm
Location: The Great Hall at The Arts Centre, 2 Worcester Blvd, Christchurch
