What you can look forward to making.
A set of meaningful models, each standing for a different kind of goal, from fresh starts to big leaps. Everyone picks the one that fits their year and leaves with a reminder on their desk.

Note: I like to read the room on the day, so you might fold a few more or a few less, or I may swap in a different model if it suits the group better. Either way, everyone gets the best experience.

FAQs
Virtual origami workshop FAQs. Quick answers.
Still not sure?
Do we need any origami experience?
None at all. Every workshop is made for complete beginners. I go step by step and repeat folds whenever anyone needs it, and two cameras, one overhead, make every fold easy to follow.
No. Everyone just needs a few sheets of A4 printer paper; even old flyers work. Kits are available at £20 per person, including UK delivery, if you’d like them.
What paper do we need?
Just a few sheets of plain A4 printer paper each (old flyers work too). Optional kits with origami paper are £20 per person, including UK delivery.
