MoMath: Illusions Origami Workshop

National Museum of Mathematics
225 5th Ave, New York, NY 10010

Optical Illusion, Escher, and the Brilliant Unit Origami of Tomoko Fusé!

An origami workshop featuring David Masunaga.

What do figure/ground illusion, M.C. Escher, and the “manji no kumikata” have to do with each other?  Remarkably, the amazing geometry behind Tomoko Fusé’s modular origami provides a very unexpected connection in this hands-on workshop.  Fusé’s techniques continue to amaze all ages in their mathematical and aesthetic connections.

Join Presidential Teaching Award winner David Masunaga, a time-honored MoMath fan favorite who has been creating and folding modular polyhedral forms for more than six decades, in this one-night-only special workshop.  Masunaga has lectured on and demonstrated the beauty of these geometric designs in countless teaching seminars throughout North America, Japan, and Australia.

Participants will go home with their own colorful origami creations!
