Special Requirements: Precise folding aids in collapsing and opening the bowl. Ideally, it also helps if the folder has a basic understanding of the mechanics of the Fujimoto twist.

Leadership Kaleidocycle

Level: Low Intermediate

Creator: Joel Stern

Teacher: Joel Stern

Description:
An educational software company I once worked for used to promote a Leadership Framework that was illustrated using an Escher-like ring of adjoining geometric shapes. The center of the ring lists the four core values of a good leader; around them in dark blue are displayed attributes of good leadership; and around those in light blue are their "non-leadership" equivalents. When I saw this I immediately was reminded of the book "M.C. Escher Kaleidocycles" by Doris Schattschneider and Wallace Walker, which takes Escher's beautiful repeating images and turns them into 3-dimensional rotating paper sculptures. I created an origami version of the Leadership Framework that flexes completely around. It's made from a strip of paper printed on one side. For the class, I will provide trimmed Leadership Framework paper strips, ready for folding. Tape will be provided to complete the assembly.

A brief survey of some of the models that can be made using the Sonobe Module. These models range from very low intermediate to considerably more challenging, making this workshop ideal both for those unfamiliar with modular origami and those with a firm foundation who want to learn more. Several models will be shown, and students will choose which one(s) they want to learn. Different students may end up learning different models (which is why this is called a "workshop"), and the teacher acts as a facilitator, ensuring that everyone is successful. Those expecting the teacher to stand in front and teach one model step by step will be disappointed and are encouraged to choose another class.

Spinning Top

Level: High Intermediate

Creator: Manpei Arai

Teacher: Andrew Ting

Description:
A fun action model, Manpei Arai's 'Spinning Top' is a wonderful toy that is as much a delight to fold as it is to play with.

Special Requirements: It is recommended that students considering this class be capable of folding at the intermediate to high intermediate level; in order to function properly, the completed model involves accurate pre-creasing and a collapse of medium difficulty, both of which are contingent upon a folder's precision.

Dollar Butterfly

Level: Low Intermediate

Creator: Michael LaFosse

Teacher: Damien Marcotte

Description:
This model is based on the Dollar Butterfly by Michael LaFosse, found in "Money Origami Kit" (2009) by M. LaFosse and R. Alexander. It is easy to modify and once learned it makes a great restaurant tip, a lapel pin, or decoration on a money tree!

Creator: Nick Robinson, Tomoko Fusé

Teacher: Ron Arruda

Description:
This Modular Star was discovered independently by Nick Robinson of England and Tomoko Fusé of Japan. Handy for holiday decor, coming right up! Fairly easy in the 5-armed version, but can be 6- or 7-armed without much trouble too. Modules lock-well together.

Western Dragon

Level: High Intermediate

Creator: Casey Shields

Teacher: Casey Shields

Description:
We'll be folding an origami dragon of high-intermediate complexity (perhaps shading a bit more towards the complex side). All fold angles are multiples of 22.5 degrees and relatively few folds are more than 2-ply. This makes it easier to retain accuracy and fold from a small square. The long limbs also make a variety of poses possible. Time permitting, I’d like to show how the projection or 'crossing diagonals' method can be applied to designs formed by tiling bases, such as this one. It is a very intuitive technique which almost instantly made me a more capable designer upon learning it, so I am excited to pass it along!

Equilateral-Triangle Modulars

Level: Simple

Creator: Arnold Tubis

Teacher: Arnold Tubis

Description:
Most origami modular rings are formed from units folded from squares. In this class, we explore several of the many simple but elegant rings that can be easily assembled with tightly-locked units folded from equilateral triangles. After learning how to fold and one-cut an equilateral triangle shape from a square, you will learn how to make several modular rings and be given general guidance on how to make many more on your own. Some models will be folded from 6 units, some from 12.

Special Requirements: Math danger! Students must be comfortable with surviving a lecture with elements of math.

Decorative Triangle Boxes

Level: Intermediate

Creator: Arnold Tubis

Teacher: Arnold Tubis

Description:
I have designed many simple (but, I hope, elegant) decorative-lid triangular boxes from regular hexagons and will teach two of my favorites (image of one of them shown here) including the bottom units. If time permits, I will teach a way of closing the box at the bottom so that a separate bottom unit is not necessary.

$ Flower-in-a-Pot *

Teacher: Michael Sanders

Description:
* BROADCAST-- This class will be presented to students in a classroom at the convention site and simultaneously broadcast to an off-site audience on the web. Classic Herman Lau flower-in-a-pot from a single dollar bill. This is by far my favorite bill fold to leave as a gift or a tip. I've never had anyone wish to take it apart and spend it, once given. Mr. Lau went out of his way to help me teach it to his specifications when I requested to teach it at my first OrigamiUSA convention. There aren't any official diagrams released and he said people were getting the proportions wrong. So he insured that I taught it the way he designed the model.

Special Requirements: Bring crisp, brand-spanking new dollar bills.

Bar Envelope

Level: Low Intermediate

Creator: Unknown

Teacher: Andre Van Meulebrouck

Description:
This envelope gets my vote as (by far!) the best origami envelope ever devised. Simple and practical, it makes good use of the paper. It is scalable, giftable. I will provide free paper in various sizes (to fit dollar bills, checks, or gift cards). It's a great envelope for organizing crease patterns, cut paper, etc..

Special Requirements: While I think this envelope is pretty simple, it is low intermediate (due to a few folds that may be confusing to beginners). Fellow students should be able to help less gifted folders. Since this model is reasonably simple, I am hoping to be done in less than 45 minutes, in which case I will fill in the remaining time by showing how to fold a pixel unit (for modular origami).

Level: Intermediate

Creator: Glenn Sapaden

Teacher: Glenn Sapaden

Description:
This model appears to be simply a gift-wrapped package bound with three interlocking ribbons. It is actually a six-piece modular box that takes advantage of a color change to simulate the ribbons. This is perfect model to use as a holiday decoration. This version is an advancement on the model taught at the last PCOC.

Special Requirements: Students should be comfortable with folding and assembling modular models. Assembly is relatively simple, but, as with most modular models, precise folding is crucial. Note that students will be using each modular piece as a template for each subsequent piece they fold.

$ One for the Money

Level: Low Intermediate

Creator: Glenn Sapaden
