SUMMARY:Intermediate Level Non-Model Folding
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Paul Jackson ( artist bio ) \n\n\n\nVenue: Online\, SDBA’s Zoom Account \n\n\n\nDay & Dates: Five 4 hour classes\, Tuesdays\, starting January 5\, 12\, 19\, 26\, & February 2 of 2027 \n\n\n\nTime: Pacific Time\, 9:30 AM—1:30 PM\, including breaks \n\n\n\nSkill Level: Intermediate—Some folding history \n\n\n\nClass Description:The workshops will build on the non-model folding techniques introduced by Paul in his previous two Non-Model Folding courses for SDBA. Anyone who has completed either or both of these previous courses is eligible to join. Also\, anyone who has tried a little origami\, whether from a book or in a class\, will also be eligible. If you are an absolute beginner\, this course may not be for you. Nevertheless\, if you consider yourself a beginner\, but have manipulated paper in relatively complex ways under your own volition\, you should be OK on the course. \n\n\n\nThe course will revisit some of the techniques and ideas explored on the earlier courses\, but will take them to a more advanced standard. It will also introduce non-orthodox folding techniques\, such as folding with water (yes …water!) to stiffen the paper and crumpling paper\, to make the surface elastic. \n\n\n\nIt is important to emphasize that the course will NOT be focused on highly complex folding techniques\, nor will examples containing excessively long folding sequences be made – we are not making dinosaurs or insects! The course will be a level above Paul’s previous two Non-Model Folding courses\, not 3 levels above. \n\n\n\nTools & Supplies:Each registrant provides their own tools and materials.  \n\n\n\nClass Recordings:Recordings will be available 30 days following each class session for registered students only. \n\n\n\nClass Fees:Early Enrollment Program (EEP): $320Member: $400Non-member: $475 \n\n\n\nEarly Enrollment Program (EEP) is a member only\, non-refundable discount. Join SDBA at checkout for reduced class fees. \n\n\n\nEEP deadline: November 15\, 2026Registration Deadline: December 15\, 2026

SUMMARY:Lotus Box in two Sizes
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Nancy Akerly ( artist bio ) \n\n\n\nVenue: Online (Zoom) \n\n\n\nDays & Dates: Monday & Thursday—January 11th & 14th of 2027 \n\n\n\nTime: Pacific Time\, 10 AM to approximately 1:30 PM\, including breaks with classroom doors opening at 9:50 AM \n\n\n\nSkill Level: All\, No Previous Box-Making Experience Needed \n\n\n\nClass Description: The Lotus Box is unlike almost every other box—composed of all these charming little triangular angles\, but without the usual gluing and measuring. It is a Japanese design and while relatively simple to make\, it celebrates innovation and embellishment like none other. We’re not only going to make a 3” size\, delicate and  precise\, but we are going to also create the big granddaddy of Lotus Boxes\, the very sturdy 6”\, with lid and pedestal. Both are made with medium Chipboard\, yet they are strong and as sturdy as any box made with .090 bookboard. No previous box making experience necessary\, just an enthusiasm for Chiyogami and Tojimbo papers to create beautiful boxes. \n\n\n\nClass Kits: SDBA’s class price includes the $70 supply kit plus mailing costs of $20. \n\n\n\nTools & Supplies: Registrants provide all needed tools. SDBA class price includes the supply kit and mailing costs. Material lists and applicable directions will be provided with the timely SDBA Welcome Letter. \n\n\n\nClass Recordings: Recordings will be available for two months following each class\, for registered students only. \n\n\n\nClass Fees:Early Enrollment Program (EEP): $224Member: $280Non-member: $355 \n\n\n\nEarly Enrollment Program (EEP) is a member only\, non-refundable discount.

SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Zig-Zag (Miura-ori) Pleats
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Paul Jackson ( artist bio ) \n\n\n\nVenue: Online\, SDBA’s Zoom Account \n\n\n\nDay & Dates: Five 4 hour classes\, Tuesdays\, starting February 16\, 23\, March 2\, 9\, & 16 of 2027 \n\n\n\nTime: Pacific Time\, 9:30 AM—1:30 PM\, including breaks \n\n\n\nSkill Level: Intermediate—Some folding history \n\n\n\nClass Description:The course introduces several different techniques for generating\, folding and designing this beautiful and endlessly versatile form of relief pleating. It will introduce students to the techniques of generating zig-zag pleats freehand (that is\, spontaneously\, without location points)\, and by creating 90-degree and 60-degree grids of pre-creased folds from which the zig-zag folds can be selected. Almost all the surfaces can be collapsed flat\, transforming a sheet into a stick. The transformation is dramatic. \n\n\n\nThe basics of the technique are easy to learn\, but at more advanced levels\, the grids and the making/collapsing of the pleats can be slow and exacting\, requiring the manipulation of several folds at the same time. For this reason\, it is recommended that students have some experience of folding paper beyond ‘one-fold’ simple valley/mountain manipulations. Students will be taken slowly through the basics to thoroughly understand the fundamentals\, after which\, we will explore more complex techniques. \n\n\n\nTools & Supplies:Each registrant provides their own materials and equipment.  \n\n\n\nMaterials: 8½ x 11in printer paper and tabloid-size printer paper (17 x 11in)\, or A4 and A3 printer paper. \n\n\n\nEquipment: Craft knife\, ruler\, paper glue\, sticky tape and cutting mat. \n\n\n\nClass Recordings:Recordings will be available 30 days following each class session for registered students only. \n\n\n\nClass Fees:Early Enrollment Program (EEP): $320Member: $400Non-member: $475 \n\n\n\nEarly Enrollment Program (EEP) is a member only\, non-refundable discount.

Embellishment possibilities are endless\, from different kinds of knobs\, or no knobs at all\, to little frames on the lid\, different interior and exterior papers\, and colors staggered within the four box structure.
