We’ll learn some models appropriate for jewelry, and then build earrings, etc. to use those models. I’ll have some inexpensive tools available for purchase, or you can just share the ones I provide.

Torii gates are perhaps one of the most widely recognized symbols of Japan. These elegant structures typically mark the entrances to Shinto shrines. This simple box-pleated model yields a clever design with a satisfying lock. A great opportunity to practice box-pleating for those with little or no experience with the technique.
Come learn how to make 3 different 2024 calendars. I will have instructions for the regular pentagonal dodecahedron (Tomoko Fuse), Nick Robinson's rhombic dodecahedron and a 1 piece 1 cut rectangular sheet that folds into a 8 page booklet. All templates are for 2024 calendars.
In this session, I will introduce a new fold simulation language that can distill the many kinds of creases and folds, such as squash, petal, crimp, rabbit ear, inside & outside reverse folds into just 3 commands (fold, crease, turnover) and a handful of specifying keywords and values. I will go over some math, insights and findings discovered in making this Origami Simulator and Creator. An open discussion and Q/A will follow.

Fold a parliament of cute and plump owls to celebrate the spooky season and Autumn season!
The folding sequence is straightforward with a couple of squash folds towards the end.
We will fold an Owl from 15 cm (~6 inch) kami in class. If time permits we can fold a smaller owl from 7.5 cm (~3 in) kami. This owl shows both sides of the paper.
15 cm sheet yields about 7.5 cm (3 inch) tall x 9 cm (3.5 in) wide owl
7.5 cm sheet yields about 3.75 cm (1.5 inch) tall x 4.5 cm (1.75 in) wide owl
First we will make a pentagon. Then we will make a rose based on the crane base. Students should be familiar with crane base and sinks.
The book is old. A diagram of the pentagon version is not in the book. I developed it myself.
