Origami Hour Skill Share hosted by Erik Riese
August 14, 2025 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Enjoy an hour with other folks folding paper; sharing tricks, tips, and stories.
Once a month we’ll fold together. Learn how to decipher the cryptic instructions in origami packages and books. Watch and practice folding base forms and more challenging models. Chat about folding history.
Folding is like knitting, writing, sewing, painting, potting, or drawing. Help build community around paper folding. We envision Origami Hour as a laid-back time to work with beautiful papers in the comfort of the Wet Paint classroom.
Thanks to Yasutomo for supporting our skill shares!
Classes have a limited space available and some fill quickly. Decisions about whether to cancel a class or add another session are typically made one week prior to the start of a class. If a class you are interested in is full we will have a waiting list and will contact you if a space opens up. If a class is cancelled due to low enrollment (fewer than 4 registrations) all registrations will be promptly refunded.
