** PLEASE CIRCULATE ** ALL WELCOME **

APPLICATIONS OF ORIGAMI
An LKL Maths-Art seminar
Thursday 9th June 2011, 5.00 - 7.30pm

This will be a practical, interactive workshop and presentation by Mark
Bolitho and members of the British Origami Society. The presentation
will cover recent developments in origami and present some of the
projects Mark has worked on. It will also review how origami techniques
have been adopted in applied design from architecture to product design.

Because this is a hands-on event, we are starting early to allow plenty
of time for practical work. The first workshop will start at 5pm, come
early if you can, or join in later if you can't!

MARK BOLITHO has been a full-time origami designer since 2004. He works
with commercial and public sector clients to produce origami designs
that meet commercial and artistic briefs. Clients include advertising
and design companies, publishers and academic institutions. Mark has
worked as an origami demonstrator throughout the world, and has been an
invited guest speaker at international origami events. Mark is presently
the General Secretary of the British Origami Society. For more
information, see www.creaselightning.co.uk .

The BRITISH ORIGAMI SOCIETY [www.britishorigami.info] exists to promote
the practice and enjoyment of origami, and to develop origami education
for children and adults. It publishes a bi-monthly magazine, maintains a
library, and organises national and local origami meetings.
