The Origami Forum

I'm going to offer through Zoom a conference/workshop I had developed, a couple of years ago, for an international origami convention in my country. Its titled "Creating through the Frankensteinian Method in Origami".

I had planned it for Saturday morning, May 9th (in two weeks). Now, I was thinking... there are a lot of origami activities online these days; some through Zoom, but some others through Facebook Live and Instagram Live. I wonder if it'll be the same–say–in June or if there won't be that much offer then as there currently is.

So, what do you think? Should I postpone it to the first Saturday of June, for example, just in case there won't be as many online origami offers as there are now, or should I just take the opportunity and do it on May 9 just like I had originally planned?

I'd really appreciate a prompt answer guys. I want to offer everyone something you can enjoy and learn from, instead of feeling overwhelmed by having one more offer from so many.

I apologize that this isn't a reply to your question, but instead another question.. But, what are some good web sites or groups where these types of lessons are posted or made available? I know of a couple but feel that I am looking at an iceberg tip and not the actual iceberg. And, what is/are your preferred methods or organizations to offer your own content?

I don't really know sattej. Well, Leyla Torres had offered a course related to playing and experimenting with folds. I understand she'll offer it once more. I guess that's an option: https://www.origamispirit.com

Why are you planning it that saturday in particular? If many other zoom workshops are offered during the same day then I would postpone.

Sunburst, I meant that there have been lots of origami online events everyday in the last few weeks. I'm worried that we'll run out of them for June for example... I don't know; I'm thinking about supply and demand. What do you think?

About that particular day and time, I have no knowledge of any other origami online event. I also think it'll be a more comfortable schedule for people of differerent continents of both sides of the Atlantic.

Thanks for answering.

I think you should do it now. Stuff will keep happening, and you can always do more events.

I agree, you can always reteach the same models if you have to.
I found that around maybe 10:00am PST can get both sides of the atlantic's daylight hours.

Thank you both. I'll take your advice and do it soon.

Good luck and have fun next Saturday Gerardo.

Thank you very much Grace !
