Schedule

We will fold as many units as we can. Once we have 3 units, I'll show how to join them, then we'll continue building.

Chat live with Robert during this session. Bring your questions. Robert will be teaching the Star Flower Modular, Opus 817 and Box Dogwood, Opus 803 at the UnConvention. More information about Robert is available here.

Stacy Grinsfelder from the OrigamiUSA Social Media team will moderate the Q&A.

Chat live with Beth Johnson during this session. Bring your questions. Beth will be teaching the Koala at the UnConvention. More information about Beth is available here.

Description: I became deeply fascinated by orchids back in the early 1970s. Having learned about blintzed bases via Samuel Randlett’s books, “The Art of Origami,” and “The Best of Origami,” I began designing origami orchid blossoms. This is one of my earliest, and it is named for my sister, Susie. I shall demonstrate the essentials on how to fold this model, dry, and after this “dry run,” I shall show various wet-folding methods for final shaping.

Paper: This model is best when folding any thin, strong paper measuring at least 12-inches square (30 cm) but not larger than 20-inches (50 cm). Solid or duo-colored are both acceptable, but I will be using a duo for the demonstration, and so it might be more helpful to use duo if you have it.

Description: "Two-Tone" was used by the Wildlife Conservation Society for Breaking Guinness World Record for Origami Elephants in 2016.

Paper: This model works well with 7-inch (17 cm) kami (white one side), but perhaps 50,000 to 100,000 were successfully folded mostly from standard six-inch (15 cm) kami for the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Guinness World Record challenge!

Description: This model was inspired by the devastating fires in Australia earlier this year. It has a few tricky steps and some difficult 3D shaping that makes this a little more challenging than it may appear.

Materials: one 10 inch square duo paper (kami works well, should be thin to medium weight and strong). Since we can’t do wet folding or shaping with MC in our virtual class, a drop or two of glue (gasp!) will help with the final step (but for you purists, it’s not critical).

Materials Needed: Six sheets of paper in 1x2 proportion.
