Posy, Elephant, and Letterfolds

Join Michel Grand—both a letter carrier and a master letter folder from France—as he shares some of Gay’s delightful and unique letter folds. To honor her legacy, Michel has also designed a brand-new tribute fold, a heartfelt creation inspired by Gay herself.

Celebrate any occasion with flowers that never fade! Wendy will guide you through folding The Pocket Posy by Gay Merrill Gross—an elegant model with two clever leaf variations that interlock securely without glue. But that’s not all—Wendy will also teach Gay’s Really Easy Elephant, a playful action model (a simpler version of Enrique Martinez’s Easyphant) whose ears flap to keep cool, just like the real thing! To top it off, Wendy will share the inspiring story of how OrigamiUSA set a Guinness World Record with a display of origami elephants—proof that a herd of paper pachyderms can make history.
