Library provides paper! Everyone welcome, no registration needed. No prior origami experience needed. Most models taught are in low intermediate to intermediate range.
Our group offered the unique chance to learn paper-folding from Laura Kruskal, an internationally known origami creator and teacher. Most of Laura's models have never been diagrammed or published. Some are decades old and are often regarded as "traditional." Others are as recent as last week! The group actively encourages everyone to become creative folders themselves.
Our gatherings range from a handful of folders to an overflowing room, often including folders from many different countries. We send out email reminders/announcements a week or two before each meeting. Email Karen if you want to get on the list: karenmreeds@gmail.com
