Heart & flower models always make great gifts. Paula has done some research to bring you some of the most heart-warming and fun models. They make great decorations anywhere, any time. Youll ? these treasures!
 
PULSAR taught by Jeannine Mosely HIGH INTERMEDIATE
Jeannine is back with a new and improved pulsar. This is a modular action model that is made from 48 pieces and smoothly transforms from a cubical shape to an octahedral shape, seeming to shrink and expand. This version has much better locks than the earlier model from 2001, and fewer modules. Get ready for some intense folding, but it will be worth it. Pre-cut paper will be provided. NOTE: This class was originally scheduled for the Fall session, but cancelled. Were glad Jeannine is able to teach it this Spring.
 
HEDGEHOG taught by Omer Shalev COMPLEX
Whats the difference between a porcupine and a hedgehog? Well, they are two different species but they both have quills. Omer has mastered this cute, spiny creature. He'll have plenty of pointers to help you get through this high intermediate model with lots of zigzagging pleats to create the points.

Improve your bird base making skills and then make an assortment of wonderful models. These are great to know and great to teach.
 
KUSUDAMA taught by Delrosa Marshall INTERMEDIATE

After folding the pulsar in the morning, you'll be ready for another modular that moves. This 12-piece model changes from an open-frame cube to completely flat and everything in between. Wendy will teach you this flexible, fun model thats as much fun to fold as it is to play with. This fabulous module, designed by Jorge Pardo, can also be put together in combinations of 24 and 60!
