Description
If you love the look of Origami but were worried that it seems complicated to make, then this course is for you!
Until recently, if you wanted to learn how to make Origami by yourself, you had to rely on Origami diagrams in books. Although the diagram system is a clever notation, it can be difficult to decipher! So that leaves many Origami aficionados struggling to figure out how to get their model from one diagram to the next, which can be very frustrating! Origami should be enjoyable! With the help of these video tutorials you’ll see that it’s easy to create complex and elegant Origami models! Each lesson is between 4 and 10 minutes and gets you from the flat piece of paper to the completed model!

I’m an avid learner and get great satisfaction from teaching! My varied skills and interests range from Origami, though Music & Writing to Excel!
I love learning and I love teaching even more! I’ve had a lifelong interest in Origami and recently fulfilled an ambition to visit Japan! This further fueled my interest in Origami. Origami books are great but creating this video based online course is a wonderful way to continue the tradition of Origami and enable even more people to learn and enjoy this ancient art form.
