Ever wonder where many origami designers find the paper that they use to create display-quality models?
Is regular kami not cutting it for that new complex model you're working on?
We will be presenting and discussing the pro's and con's of different types of
high-quality origami paper including Lokta, Unryu, Elephant Hide, Mulberry, Tant,
Origamido, Tissue Foil, and more. We will bring samples of each type of paper as
well as some models folded from each, and we will also discuss wet-folding and
back-coating paper with Methylcellulose. We will also provide information on
local and online stores where this paper can be ordered from, and finally there
be a live back-coating demonstration.

Representational Origami Design I & II

Jason Ku

This lecture is designed to be a crash course introduction
designing and analyzing representational origami. The tree
method of origami design with respect to uniaxial bases will
be introduced, as well as concepts of space allocation and
polygon packing. Further, we will discuss how to extract
information from existing crease patterns to analyze their structure.
Part I will cover basic tree theory and crease pattern analysis.
Part II will delve deeper into these topics and will emphasize specific
topics of interest to those attending.
