Paper chase

Post by EuanBingham »

Does anyone know of any decent online sources for large origami paper? Say between 9-12" . Preferably uk based.

Thanks in advance

There's the British Origami Society supply shop; it's got kami paper in various colours and sizes:

You might also want to look through the various listed places in the Origami Sources webpage; some of them do international orders:

I currently look for the same thing, in UK too.
The BOS website sell "30cm Fadeless Assorted 80gsm, 60 sheets, 20 colours" for £9.20 (postage fees included), anybody know if it is a good paper ?

80gsm is roughly the same weight as normal copy paper, so it'll fold pretty much the same way, I would expect.

My local WH Smiths now stock a fantastic variety of Artoz/chiyogami papers at reasonable prices. If you're coming down to Leicester for the British Origami Society Convention in April then you might also like a shop in the city centre called Paper Gourmet.

large paper

Post by emmajg »

I have some large paper from BOS supplies, I can post you a few sheets.
I'm organising the BOS convention in Leicester so if you can't make let me know what paper you'd like and I can pick some up.

I find that paperchase isn't a good as it used to be.
I usually use canson or canfrod paper from my local art as it's nice and large.
http://www.paper2go.co.uk/ has a nice range

As for
http://www.foldedsquare.co.uk/paper.htm - I've had a sample kit from him I'll see it I can find it but I tihnk it was like muji paper.

http://www.origamipapers.co.uk/index_fi ... alogue.htm - I won't buy from them as I don't like their selling policy on ebay in december they were selling red paper show christmas decorations and they would give you the web address of the diagrams if you bought the paper which is wrong! incase you're wondering the website is http://www.origami-club.com
