OrigaMIT Convention
I’d hoped to be better (hope springs eternal!) about taking photos and notes for a more comprehensive convention report – but between teaching two, two-hour classes, taking a class, and trying to […]
Yoshizawa’s “Horse” (WOD 2016 #19)
It seemed fitting to close with something by Japanese master origami artist Akira Yoshizawa, and I wanted to fold a horse to give to a friend, and I’d never folded […]
