SUUSI 2014

Pretty soon it will be time for SUUSI 2014, on July 20-26. And it looks like for the first time in all the SUUSIs I have gone to, I will not go to any workshop longer than 2 days. Two of my courses have to deal with finding one's way through life: Your Life's Purpose and Add Pizazz to your Journal. I will go on Dismal Falls for the first time since 2011. I was prevented last year by its conflict with Contra Dance. I am giving a workshop on making an origami dodecahedron (using the PhiZZ technique) and I will take another from one of my former students on making an origami stellated octahedron (using the Crisulla technique). Also on my schedule are a tour of Blacksnake Meadery and a class on fossils. At night I will go once again on the cohousing tour. I think this may be a way to live in the future; it is sort of like SUUSI. The problem is finding a group to your liking. Here is a description of the workshop I am giving, if it gets enough people:

267 Polyhedra Origami Limit 14

Make attractive polyhedron models Lego-style out of strips of paper folded origami-style. In this workshop we will make the dodecahedron model. Jim Blowers has a PhD in Mathematics from Northwestern University. At graduate school and recent conferences, he discovered several ways of constructing attractive polyhedra models out of paper without fasteners.

Participant Recommendations: Squares of paper, although some will be provided. The model requires 30 such squares.

$10.00

F Preferred 14+ 2pm

And once again I will behold the enjoyment of yet another SUUSI in the string of SUUSIs that go in the Great Beyond, Beyond Tomorrow.
