Margaret Wertheim ("Pythagoras Trousers" and the hyperbolic crochet coral reef project) is a co-founder of the Institute For Figuring, an organization based in Los Angeles, California, that promotes the public understanding of the poetic and aesthetic dimensions of science and mathematics
Margaret, who wrote: "A Field Guide to Hyperbolic Space: An Exploration of the Intersection of Higher Geometry and Feminine Handicraft", is interested in contacting lacemakers in the Los Angeles area. [DH met her at a conference recently and suggested that after the crochet coral reef she might find lacemaking interesting :), hence her request.] The Institute For Figuring PO Box 50346 Los Angeles, CA 90050 Phone: 323-999-7095 e-mail: m...@theiff.org Jay in Sydney jek...@bigpond.net.au http://www.theiff.org/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Institute-For-Figuring/116548341707763 Wikipedia has an article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_For_Figuring.\ - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
