Title : A world from a sheet of paper

Abstract :
Starting from just a sheet of paper, by folding, stacking, crumpling, sometimes tearing, we shall explore a diversity of phenomena, from magic tricks and geometry through elasticity and the traditional Japanese art of origami to medical devices and an ‘h-principle’.  Much of the show consists of table-top demonstrations, which you can try later with friends and family. 

So, take a sheet of paper. . .

All are welcome to attend, however all attendees will need to register for this event.
