Monthly Meeting
Wednesday, May 21, 2025 at 11:00 am PT via Zoom
Open to members and non-members. RSVP required.
Presentation:
Come play and make a little magic at our May meeting with Debbie Gallas. She’ll be demonstrating a variety of flexagon models – mesmerizing paper forms that reveal hidden faces as you fold and flex them. With just a few simple supplies, you’ll amaze your friends (and yourself) as these clever creations transform right before your eyes. These are perfect as whimsical toys, interactive cards, or unique book forms that reveal a story one panel at a time. Bring your inner child – and your curiosity – and join the fun! A supply list will be shared with all those who RSVP.
Tips & Tricks:
We’ve all been caught up with new projects lately, so the Unfinished Projects Series has been on pause for quite some time. At our May meeting, Lynne Olson will pick things back up by sharing the completed version of a project she previously introduced to us in its early stages. She will also share a collaborative fabric book in a box, and give us a look at a few other projects she’s currently working on.
Your Directors present a brief slideshow, followed by a wonderful presentation with Paul Jackson!
Boxes: Should we be Thinking Outside, Inside or Between Them?
Paul Jackson gives reasons why it is preferable to think between boxes, instead of thinking outside them, when creating new work. He gives tips on how to do this and shows examples from his own creative practice as a paper artist.
Paul Jackson has been a professional paper artist and paper engineer since 1983. He has taught extensively, including at the Royal College of Art in London, MIT in Boston and is a semi-regular instructor at the Centro del Libro in Ascona, Switzerland. He has written 45 books and been a consultant for many clients, including Nike, Disney and the Harry Potter movies. His folded artworks have been exhibited extensively. English born, Paul has an MA in Fine Art from the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London.
