How to learn wetfolding?

Post by krapfende »

Hi everyone,

I bought the book "Origami Essence" by Román Diaz. There are some models which are folded wet - and I haven't done wetfolding yet. Is there a book which teaches how to do this? Or is it just learning by doing? Thanks for every answer?

PS: Another question: Some paper recommendations say that tant paper with one side painted is the best. But how to paint tant??? What paint is used???

I can't answer your tant question, but wetfolding in my opinion is best learned by doing. I can type all night long about how much water, how to apply it, etcetera, but until you do it, all my many words are useless to you. Forget your inhibitions, grab some paper, some water, a spritzer, and a sponge, and to quote Nike, "Just do it."
