This is a listing of the Special Sessions for October 4, 2009, both morning and afternoon sessions.
Morning Classes:
12-fold Flower Tower
Date and time:
Oct. 4, 2009 at 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Level:
Complex
Teacher:
Daniel Scher
As featured in the origami film “Between the Folds,” you saw Chris Palmer fold a giant version accompanied by a squirrel. In this class, there will be no small mammals. Daniel will teach this unpublished model that has no sinks or color changes but is challenging nonetheless. It is a multi-tiered geometric design that can be collapsed, like all of Chris’s Flower Towers.
Twirly 3D Polyhedra
Date and time:
Oct. 4, 2009 at 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Level:
Intermediate
Teacher:
Art Liem
Krystyna Burczyk’s twirly 3D polyhedra add a creative touch to “regular” polyhedra. Using twirls to interlock units of 6, 8, 12 or more, these models have a sense of flair and character. Bring a straight edge or other small tool to twirl the paper. You’ll make two models, each 6 sided but students are free to make models with more sides.
Cleverly Constructed Containers
Date and time:
Oct. 4, 2009 at 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Level:
Intermediate
Teacher:
Tricia Tait
The pleasure is not only in the gift-giving but in the folding as well. Join Tricia as she shows you her favorite containers that are ingeniously designed, with surprising and interesting folding sequences. She will teach some 2-piece boxes, a tray, a tote bag and a takeout box. Completely sold out at Convention, this class is sure to please.
Alpine Trees
Date and time:
Oct. 4, 2009 at 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Level:
Low Intermediate
Teacher:
Kathy Alsegaf
Can you see the forest through the trees? Fold a number of different trees and combine them with an alpine backdrop. Time permitting, you may fold a few forest friends to liven up the landscape. Color combinations will be touched upon in terms of providing depth and interest to the scene.
