This class is an introduction to wet-folding faces. We will first talk a little bit about how wet-folding as a technique. We will move through short sections on how to fold individual features (eyes, nose, mouth) before folding one complete face as a class. I'll also hand out my zine "Notes on Folding Faces" that contains diagrams, instructions, opinions, etc.!

Supplies: 

I will provide materials for wet-folding, including 300gsm Arches paper, water, various supplies for applying the water to paper, etc. Students are welcome to bring their own paper and/or supplies if they have other preferences but that is not required.

Advisories: 
  • Students should have some origami experience. Be comfortable with squash folds, sinks, crimps, reverse folds. Be willing to make curved fold and folds without reference points.
