Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
We'll be creating amazing forms from ice in front of Kresge Auditorium by hanging nets and inflating weather balloons. No fixed date; we'll be waiting for a freezing cold night and by dawn we'll have made a scattering of beautiful objects that may only last a day! This is a unique event and we are looking for enthusiastic participants who don't mind getting cold! This will take place some time in the two weeks from Monday, January 13th. If you are interested then please tell us about yourself (year & department) and why you want to take part. Co-sponsored by the Civil & Environmental Engineering and Architecture Departments
