Intermediate Program

Origami
is led by Annick O’Shaugnessy — For grades 4 – 9

This activity will introduce campers to the Japanese art of paper folding. Origami is fun and requires only paper and some patience to produce quite impressive sculptures. The group will progress from simple folds to more complex models. We will turn ordinary sheets of paper into fl apping birds, cranes, sailboats, wreaths, sonobe jewels, cubes, double dice, ninja stars, kaleidoscope fl owers, several modular models, star of David, letter folds, and business card structures, along with many more. New models are added each year for returning students. The technical jargon of Origami will be used throughout the class enabling a student to pick up a book and follow the directions for themselves afterwards. Come and join us in transforming a simple piece of paper into something quite amazing. Beginning and more advanced folders are welcome.

Returning students are always welcome to sharpen their skills or learn new models added each year to the program or delve into my large collection of books.

This activity will be repeated in weeks 3 and 4 as Origami 2
