SMM Workshop: Knotting, Wrapping Folding: Crafting New Forms Break out of two-dimensions and into three while exploring the sometimes-surprising structural possibilities of paper and yarn. We’ll introduce the work of scientists, mathematicians, and artists inspired by natural, geometric, and architectural forms. Learn to crochet unusual new forms and take paper folding into new sculptural dimensions. Here's my draft plan for the workshop.

I've been trying to figure out a good way to construct animals and environments for the workshop. Environments, I can imagine how I want to do them, and I've made some that I like. That seems easy. Animals have been harder to figure out than I expected. I haven't even tried adding the crickets yet. I am still just trying to figure out a good way of making creatures that will be able to move or respond in an interesting way. So far, it has worked to think about endoskeletons and exoskeletons.
