Convention 2024 Classes - Supplies

students will need 20 x 10 cm rectangular paper for this origami

• 1 piece of kami paper 6 x 6 inches for the rabbit (white on one side and pink on the other)
• 1 piece of kami paper 6 x 6 inches for the carrot (orange on one side and green on the other). Alternatively, to achieve the color change, we can work with 2 pieces of paper, one green and one orange.

This is a modular design and requires 6 sheets of paper. 6" x 6" kami works well. To be consistent with Mondrian's style the color must be Red, Black, Blue, or Yellow on one side and White on the other. It's possible to use duo kami, i.e. Red/Yellow, Black/Red, Black/Yellow, Blue/Yellow... One sheet for the bookmark.

Attendees are urged to bring their best folding tools to “show & tell” the group.

A bone folder and clip or two would be helpful.

4 pieces of 6 inch kami - same color or 2 colors. Students bring 3 inch kami to class.

Paper: 3 pieces of 6” x 6”
Cutting tool
Pencil

Supplies will be provided, but students can bring their own business cards, index cards, 8.5” x 11” or magazine covers if they like.

The Leaf Star can be folded with kami. Tools like clips and poking implements like skewers and tweezers will be helpful.

Bring glue to shape with (regular white school glue will be perfect).

I will be providing paper to fold with, but if you want to use your own, I recommend bringing something similar to 40+cm Double Tissue (25gsm)

6 inch kami should work.

Mizuhiki Cords that will be provided by the teacher for small fee.

Large to sided sheet to accomplish the color change, foil is a plus for shaping. 12 inch or larger

Please bring 9" paper (although 9" kami will be provided).

I'll bring big squares of tant paper, one for each student.

A piece of A4 paper (21 x 29.7 cm)

Five 6" kami sheets.

10 inch sheet of paper, or if daring a 6 inch.

6 sheets of square 6" kami or foil paper.

recommend 4 pieces of 6" foil

Students may find tweezers or a bone folder helpful, but they are not necessary.

No supplies required from students

none needed

I'll bring pre-cut circles for each participant. If we will have time for the square version they will need to bring 6 sheets of 3" kami.

Each student should bring a square sheet of paper with a side length of approximately 30 cm. Glue may be used for shaping purposes.

I will provide paper. 10 squares the same size, kami. Duo is best, even white. The minor color adds to the design on the front and shows a little on the edges on the back.
Patterns are fun – including floral, geometric, kaleidoscope, tie-dye, asymmetrical patterns.
Use 2 colors or 5 colors. OR do all 10 the same.
6 inch paper gives an 8.5 inch model
4 inch paper gives a 6 inch model
3 inch paper gives a 4 inch model

6-inch kami

A pack of pre-cut equilateral triangles will be provided. While the model can stay together without adhesives, a dab of glue helps in keeping the model together & more sturdy.

6” kami is perfect!

Eight squares in two colours. The paper can have the same colour on both sides or different colours (origami paper or duo). Origami or duo paper, printer paper or memo cube paper are suitable.
Squares as small as 3 inches will be ok for students with some folding experience. 4 inch squares will be more comfortable, especially for less experienced students. 6 inch squares may produce a star that's bigger than needed. (Quartering two 6 inch squares to make eight 3 inch squares is more economical and may give better results)

Please bring a decently thick paper for this model. For my fold, I used 50cm Lokta but any thick paper over 30cm in size will work fine. I may have some tant paper available if you need paper. You will also need some glue to hold things together in the final fold.

For the practical exercise, it's mandatory to have something to take notes with and something to take notes on.

1 sheet kami, Duo is nice, 6" or larger

6 inch kami, duo color because there is a color change. Optional items: bone folder, small sharp tool for small folds, glue

10" kami, provided. If you would like, you can use a slightly bigger sheet of tissue foil or something thick, it will make shaping easier and will also look better.

6 sheets of 6 in by 6 in kami

I will provide paper not in the paper pack.
Each flower needs only 2 sheets, one for the flower and one for the stem, so two in total.

Paper, 30x30 cm.
Glue

Students should bring:
Scissors
Bling bling for decorating
Glue

Ruler, exacto knife (preferred) or scissors, square duo-color paper 8” or larger, bone folder

White glue,
twist ties,
water,
small (~0.25" wide) paint brush,
intermediate to complex origami models for experimentation.

The cricket only takes one sheet. We will use additional sheets for grass and other things for the cricket to hide in.

The model is foldable from regular 6” Kami, but I recommend something about 20-30 cm for a first attempt, and nothing thicker than Kami.

A paper cutter to cut a big sheet into 8 pieces. For the color-change version, students will need 9 squares of duo kami. 3" are ok. I'll bring one big sheet for each student for the single-color version.

10 sheets of 6” Kami paper and a few more sheets for a variation if there’s time.

40 or more sheets of 3" kami or foil paper. (a little larger or smaller size is fine, but all sheets have to be the same size.)

One sheet of 10 inch kami paper.

Recommended sheet size: 30 x 30 cm
Recommended sheet color: one side blue or green, the other side white

For the book there will be a minimum of six sheets of paper needed. This will produce a book with one inside page. The sheets need to be all the same size and should be rectangles (squares ok). There will be one sheet for the spine of the book, two sheets for the covers, a number of sheets for the inside pages and one sheet more than for the inside pages, for the connectors.
For the storigami, one 6 inch square and one 8 1/2 x 11 inch sheet.

35cm+ paper, kami is fine, thinner papers are ideal.

Just a sheet of Kami paper; a 28x28 inch square of paper will give you a hat that fits an adult head.

A 10" kami square. Slightly thicker paper like Tant is nice, but not required. We will, time permitting, fold the model twice.

Seven sheets of kami will be needed (6"/15cm) for a complete set of pieces

Paper will be provided by the instructor.
