Japanese Paper Dolls
OK, so it’s not strictly origami since cutting and gluing are required, but how can you possibly pass up these adorable Japanese Paper Dolls? Here’s a chance to use those washi and chiyogami papers that you’ve been saving. Louise will guide you through multiple steps, and provide templates and hints to create your own bookmark, gift decoration or toy.
Rose Auditorium
Now you can promise a loved one a rose garden! This beautiful model features that quintessential petal silhouette that makes it undeniably a rose. Talo Kawasaki’s 2-piece modular is a variation of Uyen Nguyen’s 6-piece cube and requires a little gridding, some pre-folding and a gradual, satisfying collapse. This model works particularly well when folded from Stardream or Tant paper.
Hearts and Flowers - Cancelled
Romance is in the air! It certainly will be once you’ve mastered this twist-folded rose. Throw in some hearts, including a Heart Napkin ring and you’re all set for that Valentine’s Day dinner. Carole will show you how to create a long stem rose using florist wire and floral tape. Students should be familiar with folding the bird base.
Octagonal Bowl
Put those pads of scrapbook paper to good use, although any piece of fancy paper will make a fine bowl. This ingenious octagonal model is both pretty and practical, can also be used as a vase. Precise folding will be helpful in making this a eye-catching accent to any table. Nuts, anyone?
Family Fun – Action Models
Origami models that move are always fun! Join Wendy to make origami that jumps, flies, and spins. This class is a great opportunity for families to explore the magic of origami together. No experience is necessary. For children ages 8 and up. Adults without children are also welcome!
Mobile Using Recycled Materials
Save the planet and recycle! What better way to recycle all those materials around the house than to make an origami mobile. Art teacher Aldo always comes up with unexpected ways to incorporate everyday materials into origami projects with a lot of pizzazz. Take a few plastic bottles, some scraps of paper and bam, you’ve got a mobile.
Origami Playhouse
Come, please have a seat. Let Candy invite you into her origami living room. This class will feature three new furniture models by Huy Voun Lee. Unleash the hidden interior decorator in you as you mix and match patterned papers for that sophisticated look. This could be the start of your dream origami dollhouse.
Fancy Organizers
Join Rachel on the town with this clever Shumakov creation. Not just an organizer, it also makes a special gift container or even a dressy evening bag! Beautiful, extra-large paper will be provided to make sure you have a special evening out. Of course, you can put just about anything in this origami organizer. Class limit: 12
