Eight Session Crash Course
In eight 75-90 minute sessions, you’ll learn the fundamental folds, bases, and numerous models to start you on the path to becoming an origami master. Each session focuses on a particular base, teaching the principles of origami through 3-4 models derived from that bases.
“Jeff was such an amazing teacher. He came to our home and even brought the special paper with him. Our son who is 7 and his friends (8-9 yrs) thoroughly enjoyed learning how to fold origami and it was a creative fun way to spend the afternoon. We hope to do it again soon.”
Origami Workshops
Standard Origami Workshop
In a 30, 60, or 90 minute workshop, you’ll learn about the basic history of origami, some of the common folds, bases, principles, and approaches to folding origami, and immediately apply them to make 3-4 models.
Scrap Paper Origami Workshop
Does your office have too much scrap paper? We’ll cut that paper into squares and fold animals, planes, flowers, and so on. Origami can be a refreshing break in the workday, and it’s a perfect corporate team building activity.
