Description
Origami is the ancient art of paper folding. Starting with a single square sheet of paper, without cutting, without gluing, it seems to be a very constrained artistic or craft activity. These constraints are not an obstacle to creativity: there are nowadays plenty of origami creations along with traditional models. New folded models are still produced continuously, especially during national and international origami conventions, often driven by origami associations.
In this workshop, you will learn to fold an origami model among simple and intermediate classical designs, and to discover some more original displayed models. Paper to fold will be available, so no preparation is required!
Wish to have a previous taste of what is origami? Try to have a glance at origami galleries on the web, and association web sites, as: http://mfpp-origami.fr/ or http://www.britishorigami.info/ for instance.
