Going 3D: Modular Origami - making unique decorations

Modular origami, also called 3D origami, is a specific kind of origami that evolved in the 18th century. Instead of making a shape out of a single piece of paper the complex shapes are assembled out of tiny modules.

The purpose of this course is to show you the basic techniques for working with triangular modules - both while folding them and when assembling into more complex shapes. To complete it you don't need any previous knowledge of neither modular nor regular origami - and the required level of manual precision for modular origami is noticeably lower than for regular one, which makes it a perfect craft to do together with children.

This course does not contain a set of shapes you can repeat and be done with, but rather the generic ways of assembling the pieces together allowing you to implement them in any craft of your choice.
