by Mark Bolitho
Published 20 April 2017
Origami expert Mark Bolitho explains how to make perfectly formed origami objects that are pleasing to fold and make. As digital downtime becomes a constant quest in our fast-paced lives, the idea of contemplative, soothing arts and crafts is undergoing a serious revival. Each title contains 32 pages of origami paper so that you can try out these mindful projects for yourself.
The Art and Craft of Geometric Origami divides into sections; One-piece Projects (formed from a single piece of paper), Twists and Turns (objects that change form with movement), Modular Projects (multiple-piece projects) and Advanced Modules (intricate and beautiful objects). Shapes include simple tetrahedrons and cubes, diamonds and geo balls, icosahedrons and flexagons, harlequin modules and starbursts.
