Join us for an evening to explore a curated selection of model instructions designed to introduce Origami to a new audience or provide something for those seeking a bit of challenge. Each station will be led by an experienced Origami Society of Toronto member intent on sharing their enthusiastic passion with you. Materials are provided, and seating is limited. 

Though an art form enjoyed throughout the world, the practice of Origami is deeply rooted in Asian cultures. Since the discovery of paper in China around the 2nd century BC, humans have been entranced by the possibilities of folding it into figures which range from simplistic, to symbolic to near-realism. There is no form in nature, science, or fantasy which Origami has not approached and the art constant evolves with imagination (and some patience!) the only limits in the future.

Origami Society of Toronto: We are in the 40th anniversary year of The Origami Society of Toronto. Since its inception the group has welcomed members and visitors of all levels to it’s monthly Meet & Fold sessions now held at the AGO, and to a variety of events held to share our passion. Paper-folding is pursued for many reasons; fascination with handling exquisite papers from around the world, manipulating those papers to explore new ways of forming beautiful complex models, or spreading love by gifting models—all expressing Origami’s importance which our Society aims to support and spread.

Grab a drink at the Atrium Espresso Bar and enjoy it in Walker Court to sip as you create your masterpiece.
