In 2014, the UW Zoological Museum received a project grant from the Brittingham Foundation to recreate Blaschka marine invertebrate models with historically relevant materials and equipment to Leopold and Rudolph. Since this original endeavor, the project has grown to encompass other avenues of documentation, construction, and educational materials related to the immense body of work of the Blaschkas.
As a part of this ongoing project, Lauren Aria and Tracy Drier have collaborated to investigate methods the Blasckas may have used to create the Cyanea capillata invertebrate model.
