Class Description:
Flexagons are two and three-dimensional paper folded/cut/glued constructions that fold or ‘flex’ to
reveal hidden surfaces. This gives them a narrative structure, ideal for presenting a sequence of
images, texts, patterns, stories…anything you choose. They are highly entertaining, baffling to
encounter, full of creative potential and simple to make!
Over the 5 workshops, you will learn 15-20 different flexagons with a diversity of forms and flexing
actions. All the constructions will be made with paper or card and basic papercraft equipment (ruler, knife, glue, etc). Nervous beginners are welcome. Paul has taught flexagons many times to students of Design and to a variety of adult makers’ groups.
Paul’s journey with flexagons began as a student, and includes work with the British Origami Society. Come join us to open or extend new worlds for yourself and others!
