NYPL Stavros Niarchos Foundation Branch · Murray Hill
This event will take place in person at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library, Room 303. OMG! Origami at SNFL is a group for people to come together and share in the beautiful art of Origami - an ancient art of folding various mediums, most commonly paper. The word comes from the combination of the Japanese verb oru (to fold) and the noun kami (paper). Other materials often folded are fabric, wire mesh, sheet metal, tissue, thin plastic, cardboard, and straws. We meet as a group to teach each other new models and share paper, books, and tips. This meeting is free and open to all level of folders from beginner to advanced. There will be free paper available to share. You may choose to bring your own paper and books and just show up and fold! If you have models you would like to learn, or teach, let us know and we will try our best to accommodate. Registration is required. Sign up for upcoming dates for this program here.
