Who is this course for: Anyone who would like to learn about origami and the possibilities of folding paper
Previous knowledge or experience: No experience necessary, although if you have folded paper before the goal will be to improve accuracy and discover new models
How will I learn: You will use most of the senses, looking, listening and touching the paper, but mostly visually, through imitation and following diagrams
How will I be assessed: Tutor observation and individual work.
What shall I bring: £2.50 for all materials, payable directly to the tutor and a box to take your creation home in
Next steps: There are endless future opportunities once the basics have been mastered. Participants will be able to fold independently from books or online diagrams
