Hands-on Presentations "Foldeas: Sharing Ideas Through Origami"

A project emerged from the Frankensteinian method hands-on presentation I had given over a month ago: "Foldeas: Sharing Ideas Through Origami". It's a series of hands-on presentations, all of them related to origami, by guest speakers from a wide variety of countries. The sessions will be once a month, every four weeks, always on Saturdays, but the time won't always be the same.

The next one will be on June 20th, 9:00 am (New York) / 2:00 pm (London). The guest speaker will be Trevas Chuang AKA Decadent Origamist: https://www.facebook.com/decadentorigamist

He has titled his session: "My Origami Journey", which will be about how Trevas has integrated origami to his life, his vision, and travels.

If you wish to register, send me an email message: gerardo(a)neorigami.com

Whether you plan to attend or not, I appreciate it if you share and repost the session's poster on your social media platforms and groups, asking others to also share and repost it. Thank you in advance and see you at the session!

The following are some images from Paul Jackson's session. For many of us it was very enlightening as we took on the challenge of working outside our comfort zone!

Paul made a Facebook post about the experience: https://www.facebook.com/miri.golan/pos ... 0674380810

And Santrupthy Das (future Foldeas guest speaker) made a compilation book with all our works, which we now share with you: https://drive.google.com/file/d/171ur_A ... 1DOSDx2W7N



We were to imagine & draft architectural works through folds, props, and proper photographs.

Image

Image


Paul encouraged us all to put on our designer hats during the workshop... HAHAHA!

Image


This was Santrupthy's work:

And this Sheetal's:

Amanda made hers so big that she used it as background... just kidding!
