Abstract
In this collaborative work between a mathematician and designer we imagine a hairy Klein bottle, a fusion that explores a continuous non-vanishing vector field on a non-orientable surface. We describe the modeling process of creating a tangible, tactile sculpture designed to intrigue and invite simple understanding.
