Origami Exhibition

An exhibition outlining the history and development of origami, the Japanese art of paperfolding. The exhibition will be illustrated by many stunning folded models. Come along and see how much more there is to this fascinating art form.

There will also be a few Saturday workshops on offer for those who want to try their hand at Origami for themselves. Members of the British Origami Society will be on hand at these workshops to teach, assist and answer any questions you may have about origami.

There are limited places on these workshops, so we request that you book your place in advance.

All bookings will be taken by Margaret Findlay on 0131 529 3963/2.

We must also insist that children under 16 are accompanied by an adult.

Details of the models to be taught are in the schedule below. In most cases, the model shown is the 'programmed' model. If time permits, other models may also be taught.
