Description

Sci X Southwest presents an evening with Dr Elisabetta Matsumoto, Georgia Institute of Technology, discussing creative crafts and research. What can physics learn from crochet? How does a simple stitch change the stretch of a scarf, and how are modern materials and manufacturing learning from their wooly ancestors?

Join Dr Matsumoto for atalk about curvature using pattern making, symmetries using quilt squares and flags, hyperbolic space using quilting at crochet, and knot theory and coding using knits.

Presented in association with E-stitches Bristol, a monthly meet-up for folk interested in textiles, technology, and similar things. E-stitches Bristol and this event are based at Pervasive Media Studios, a creative technologies collaboration between Watershed, UWE Bristol and University of Bristol
