Hi Everyone! Welcome to Amsterdam Origami Club.

This is a monthly origami workshop for all abilities to learn the wonderful art of origami. Each month there will be a different themed origami workshop.

The workshop is run by Samuel Tsang the author of "The Book of Mindful Origami" and "The Magic of Mindful Origami."

How much is the workshop? The workshop is sponsored by the OBA to promote more community activies and events in the libraries. The workshop will run on a voluntary donation basis. If you can, please donate to help fund the art materials, paper, books & printing. You can make a donation at the workshop either with cash or our QR tikkie code.

Monthly themes: Every month I choose a different set of models to teach. Below are just suggested topics, they can often change if I discover a new fun model.

Jan - Animals - land, air and sea. Learn to make birds, fish and cats and dogs. Feb - Valentines Day - learn to make hearts, love letters, diamond ring and tulips. March - Wedding bouquet - learn to make lilies and tulips and tie them into a beautiful bouquet . April - Easter - bunnies, chicks , baskets and tulips May - Mother's day - learn to make beautiful flowers June - Modular origami - Learn about the science and math of modular origami and their architectural uses. Make Sonobe modules and build complex geometric shapes. July - Kirigami - cut paper models. Aug - tbc Sep - Water animals Oct - Halloween - learn to make spooky ghosts, bats and pumpkins. Nov - tbc December - Christmas themes

This is an instructor lead workshop where you will follow step by step instructions on a projector screen on how to create each of the beautiful models. In between demonstrations you will have time to recreate each model and there will be a short break half way through the workshop. You will also be provided with all materials and sent a link to instructional videos on our website.

Aims of the origami club: We are looking for volunteers to help run the workshops and hope to make the origami club a regular meetup to promote origami. I also hope to train up some deputies to help lead the workshops. I will show you how to present and confidently teach an origami model. If you are interested in volunteering please contact me.
