Make Your Own Temari Ball
A hands-on workshop with Ingrid Daubechies
Monday, August 5
3:30 pm to 5:30 pm
(in person)
Learn how to make a geometric Temari ball in this hands-on workshop led by MoMath’s 2023–2024 Distinguished Visiting Professor, Ingrid Daubechies. Traditionally, Temari balls were made with remnants of old kimonos and exchanged as cherished gifts, symbolizing deep friendship and loyalty. Today, these colorful spheres are constructed with embroidery and offer many design variations, demonstrating the beauty of geometry in craft form! Don’t miss one of the final opportunities to learn from Ingrid as you make your own Temari ball and creatively apply your newfound skills to making several other variations.
You’ll learn to make the purple Temari ball pictured below (lower left),
and apply your newfound skills to make several of the other designs!
