Origami Tutor

25


25 per hour - Virtual OK - Posted Mar 19, 2017

So you've mastered the paper crane and want to learn more about the unique art form of Origami? I will provide suggestions for good next step models based on your skill level. On Skype or in person I will walk you through folding a model of your choice while teaching you new Origami vocabulary, showing you how to execute more complex folds, giving theory tidbits and context for the reasoning behind the folds we're making, and offering other tips and tricks. I focus on single-sheet origami with no cutting.

If you want a remote session, you will need your own Origami paper (I will provide paper for in-person sessions). I recommend using paper that is larger than the standard 6-in size. You can find large Origami paper online, or you can cut your own squares from standard printer paper.

Training & Qualifications


I have been folding since childhood, and designed some of my own Origami models. I'm knowledgeable about Origami theory and principles, such as the traditional bases and the ways in which those bases can be combined and rearranged to create more complex structures.

Availability & Preferences


Most evenings during the week, Saturdays.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

About Marjie Volk

I'm a software engineer by day, omnivorous learner and creator by night. Some of my current hobbies include song writing, spinning knitting weaving and other fiber arts, and nail art. My current job... is at a video game studio where I do gameplay engineering. I'm a huge enthusiast of video games, especially the quirky indie kind. I also love reading and watching fantasy and sci fi - from complex intellectual social tragedies to trashy young adult romps. During lockdown I turned into a retired person and filled my house up with interesting orchids and a big stamp collection. I live in a lovely house with my partner and two cats, where I now get to decorate to my heart's content. My friends say my bedroom looks like a child's room because of all the bright colors and happy wallpaper - but I'm proud to be a child forever!show more
