Den danske origamiforening - Papirfoldning.dk

Alle er velkomne i vores hyggelig forening!

I den danske origami-forening samles både nybegyndere og passionerede origami-entusiaster for at dele deres interesse, lære nyt og udforske de mange muligheder, som papirfoldning tilbyder.
Onsdagsorigami: Foreningen holder til i Byens Hus i Gentofte (onsdag kl. 14-20), hvor medlemmer mødes for at folde papir, udveksle idéer og skabe smukke kreationer i fællesskab. Du får en fantastisk mulighed for at forbedre dine færdigheder og møde andre med samme interesse. Foreningen ledes af Hans Dybkjær, der med sin store erfaring og passion skaber en hyggelig og lærerig atmosfære for deltagerne. 


Bøger af Hans Dybkjær

Hans har skrevet flere unikke og inspirerende origami-bøger som "Origami: Leg med papir", "Foldefamiliens jul" og "Flere origami-dyr". Bøgerne er kendt for sine klare og letforståelige instruktioner, der hjælper med at skabe både  smukke og komplekse origami-designs.


En origami baser er grundlaget for mange papirfoldningsprojekter. Baser bruges ofte som udgangspunkt for klassiske figurer som traner, blomster og dyr, og de hjælper dig med at opbygge struktur og form i dine kreationer. Mange konstruktioner starter med at folde videre på en base, så det er nyttigt, at være bevidst om hvad der kendetegner de forskellige baser.

FoldMation - Interaktive mønstre

FoldMation er en interaktiv webapplikation til at lære og skabe origami-foldninger. Den giver dig mulighed for at følge trin-for-trin instruktioner og endda skabe dine egne interaktive foldninger. Du kan hurtigt springe trin over, spole tilbage og afspille komplicerede trin flere gange. I stedet for at trække med musen bruger FoldMation kommandoer og nøgleord til at skabe foldningerne, hvilket giver mulighed for mere avancerede designs.
