Option 1: Mark only workshops you want to attend in your calendar In this booklet, every workshop has a link. like this: Add this class to your calender This link can add the event to your own calendar, in your local time! Option 2: Show entire schedule ( all 48 hours) in your calendar You can add all the complete calendar of the event to your calendar by using this link: Add the complete marathon to your calendar

Option 3: Setting your time zone ( is that what this is?, if yes, it’s not really option 3, right?) The program starts at 22/8/2020 at 00:00 GMT (Greenwich Mean TIme) and shows all times in GMT +0. To verify your GMT, go to this site . There is no need to input any information. Please be aware of the [+] or [-] signs! Add your GMT (or subtract, if yours in a [-] GMT) to the indicated hour in the program. The result shows the hour in your time zone. For example, if you live in NYC, your GMT is [-4]. Since the first workshop starts at 00:00 GMT, it will be 20:00 (21/8/2020) in NYC.

Difficulty Level Our models range from simple to super-complex. You may try to fold them all, but some may be too difficult for you to enjoy. Please, make sure the level of difficulty fits your experience level. You can join every workshop you’d like to, but please note that workshops will not slow down for the slowest person in the class. This simply cannot happen with such a big group of folders. If the pace is too quick or you need a repeat, please write these requests in the Q&A window during the workshop. Our moderators will constantly be checking the questions and depending on the number of requests balances with the time allotted for the workshop, will ask the teacher to slow down, repeat, etc. Scale of Difficulty Levels: Simple workshops last 25 to 30 minutes (although the time slot is one hour) and the complex workshops last 100 to 110 minutes (in a two-hour time slot). Here is a list of models available on different YouTube channels, varying from simple to complex. Try to fold them to determine your level of folding.

⋆ ⋆⋆ ⋆⋆⋆ ⋆⋆⋆⋆ ⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

Simple Level: Boat Tico Star Bird Intermediate Level: Catapult Tyrannosaurus Owl High Intermediate Level: Rabbit Skull that Talks and Flies Fox Complex Level: Lazy Panda Dog Styracosaurus

Shuki Kato Level: There is no tutorial for this. If you folded one of his models you know what to expect.

Prepare your Paper Be prepared with the right paper and all other tools needed! Look at the workshop page for the recommended paper type and size. Some workshops require preparations in advance! The workshop will start assuming you have done those preparations!! For example, workshop#1 needs a prefolded grid of 6 by 6 on your paper. For workshop #23 you need a cardboard and a packing knife!

Cyber Code of Conduct 1. It is important to the organizers that all participants ask questions and make comments in the Q&A in a respectful way. Therefore, we have established a Code of Conduct for all attendees to follow. If an attendee violates the Code of Conduct, they will receive a warning. A subsequent violation will result in being removed from the live session. The attendee will still receive the recording of the class. 2. All teachers and moderators are able to see all comments and questions in the Q&A 3. No typing in CAPS LOCK. This is the equivalent of yelling which would not be acceptable at an in-person event. 4. Do not share negative criticism of the teacher, teaching style or class. It is not the time or place and would not be acceptable at an in-person event. 5. Do not repeat questions if they are not answered right away. Many questions are being asked and there is one moderator handling all the questions. 6. Do not ask to have steps repeated multiple times. The teacher is going at a certain pace in order to complete the class within the allotted time period. He/she will be repeating steps twice. You will be getting a link to the recording of this class if you are unable to keep up. These questions and comments will just be dismissed.

Copyright Code of Conduct We hope you enjoy folding with these 48 Origami artists from around the world. Combined, the artists and organisers have spent more than a thousand hours preparing and presenting these Origami designs for you.

Add this class to your calender

Paper Type: Kami Paper Size: 15 cm About: Born in 1982, Sébastien is educator in a structure for children with multiple disabilities (polyhandicap) and live in

France. He discovered origami with his mother at the age of 6 years. Sébastien pursued his studies by orienting himself towards the management of natural spaces and, on the artistic side, he touched everything: drawing, comics, painting, sculpture. The sculpture quickly took over and became a loophole. Origami was always present but more like a hobby ... for more than 10 years it has amassed objects of recovery in order to break, twist, melt and reassemble them in sculptures in very dark subjects. Destruction to rebuild again. In 2010 learning he was going to be dad of twins ... he put aside his sculpture and came naturally to origami, always present in his spare time. The folds of each figure are dictated by a search for essential and bringing into life. Wanting to strive for a certain originality in his achievements, he is always looking for new subjects, new ideas. today, considering origami as an art and wanting to share it, he tries to combine the art of paper folding and streetart: two ephemeral practices but strong in meaning. Origami has and will always have a magic side for him: a simple sheet of paper that comes to life and turns into what you want! The only limit is your imagination ! He was invited as guest in origami convention in several countries in Europe.

Paper Type: Kami Paper Size: 25 cm

About: Origami has been my biggest passion since I was 10 years old. I most enjoy trying to design whimsical models that fly, spin, or somehow move. I've published three books of my models and produced the Bay Area Rapid Folders (BARF) Newsletter for 15 years, but in 2011 I switched from print media to making video tutorials on YouTube www.youtube.com/jeremyshaferorigami . I make a new video every week and often try to design what my viewers are most requesting. I used to also earn my living entertaining at county fairs and other festivities but now instead of in-person events I offer Zoom origami tutoring sessions and virtual origami parties via www.calendly.com/jeremyshafer . On the side I'm an avid juggler, unicyclist and handwhistler and my sport of choice is unicycle basketball and my favorite workout routine is picking up trash while riding a unicycle. 30

Ekaterina Lukasheva USA Curved Tessellation Difficulty level: ⋆⋆

Add this class to your calender

Paper Type: Printer paper (easier to fold!), Tant, Elephant Hide Paper Size: A4 or similar Special Preparations: scorer: old pen, scoring tool or other sharp object.

Template: piece of good cuttable cardstock or plastic (I use old notebook covers or notepad backs) about a4 size or a5 size. A4 printer paper About: To create her art, Lukasheva uses both her knowledge about smooth curved surfaces, symmetry, tilings and her inner feeling of pure geometrical beauty. Her geometric tessellations are created from flat sheets of paper, transformed through the act of folding into complex, structured objects. Each design is not only a beautiful ornament, but has an engineering process behind it that is invisible to the viewer. Unlike molded sculptures, her tessellations are designed so that they can be unwrapped and returned to their original flat form at any time. This involves the use of mathematical concepts to make it possible and certain restrictions in the shapes achievable. Ekaterina Lukasheva’s art is half about beauty and half about the exploration of possible with the complex curved folds and a flat sheet of paper. Her unofficial art motto is, “Create new shapes instead of reusing well-known ones”. This motto pushes her further in her explorations of the topology of paper. 34

Paper Type: Bicolor kami Paper Size: 30 cm

About: Hi from India! I have been an Origami enthusiast since 1989. I began with paper airplanes. Then Samuel Randlett and John Montroll got me hooked on to representational Origami. From folding in isolation to folding with a global community; from folding palm-sized models in a small room to folding a 105 ft (32 m) model in an airplane hangar, it’s been a long, eventful and thoroughly enjoyable journey. The model you will learn here is the Seated Peacock. It was designed specifically for the Origami World Marathon, 2020. Peacock is the national bird of India and, as such, holds a dear place in my heart. I hope you enjoy this model. Keep folding! 40

Around 2006 I started my first blog, a year later I got introduced to flickr and in 2009 I went to my first Origami Convention. I love folding all those different styles of Origami from figurative over tessellation to modulars. I like it when part of the paper isn't folded and beautiful curves and round shapes appear. Sometimes I can even include this idea in my own designs. The results and some diagrams can be found on my blog: kalami-kalami.blogspot.com

Paper Type: Very soft paper like napkin paper, Handkerchief, hygienic paper,... (no silk paper) Paper Size: We will cut the paper to the right size. About: I learned the traditional rosacea at school when I was 9 years old. Then I did a lot of variations of this model. I continued to learn simple models and, in 2011, I saw a waiter folding a rose in paper napkin. I reproduced it and derived it to satisfy my taste. As soon as I saw the diagram of Florence Girard’s flamenco dancer, I wanted to fold it and to adapt it to ballet dancer. I didn’t have silk paper, so I tried various king of papers: non printed newspaper (result not fluid enough for me), paper handkerchief (the model was very fluid but didn’t stand on its own), paper napkin, and toilet paper. Finally, toilette paper gave the best result: a very delicate model that can stand on its own. I have then applied this technique to create characters and flowers, the richness of nature giving me inspiration. The laboratory paper towels, with similar composition than toilet paper but with bigger sheets, have opened new horizons for me. I like the vaporous side, the lighting effects, and the purity of the white color that this paper can bring. 52

At an early age he developed a taste for the arts, especially drawing, studied arts at high school and years later he graduated in architecture. It was out of mere curiosity, that João Charrua first took up origami, which developed into an absorbing hobby and later a serious undertaking. His paper sculptures are a journey through the places of his imagination. They are a physical translation of the ideas that inhabit his mind and come from the most different universes with the most diverse influences. The limitation of only using folds as a transformative process implies a formal challenge that is strongly reflected in the aesthetics of his pieces. 53

Paper Type: Kami Paper Size: 15 cm

About: I first discovered origami in Montreal's botanical garden when I was about 5 years old and got hooked. My local library was my best source for new models to fold, followed by internet many years later. At the time, I was able to improvise some models of my own by using the traditional bases. My first «true» creations came for a high school project: design an origami chess set. After testing out various techniques to make chess pieces, I opted for boxpleating or the use of square grids. As boxpleating made a lot of sense to me, this became the technique I would be using up to this day. The type of models I create are complex humanoid characters and objects. More recently, I've added 2D sceneries and geometrical shapes to my repertoire. 58
