library session, origami folding resources and references

This post accompanies a live origami "Paper to Pin" folding session offered at the Strathcona County Library.

During the session, folds are taught live and by demonstration. It is an analogue, embodied, traditional knowledge experience supported by the web, not replaced by it.

The links below are provided as optional references for participants who would like to revisit the forms later.

They point to external resources with diagrams or guides that are free to view and good for beginners.

Patterns explored today:

* Tanzaku (traditional, unpublished)


Note: 

*Many variations of these origami models exist; these links are offered as starting points rather than definitive instructions. 
* You are welcome to bookmark or explore these pages on your own time if you want to practice a fold again or make more origami models at home.

make a zine

Origami is not just for kids, or ornaments, or fun.  

Let me be clear - there is absolutely nothing wrong with those goals but they are, by no stretch, the limits of what you can do with a humble sheet of paper and your own two hands.

So are the folks at migrawhistle. They're sharing vital information about community safety.  Here's how.
