ORIGAMI!

OMG NYC (Origami Meetup Group! New York City)  meets at Cosi Sandwich Bar on Thursday evenings from 7pm until the folding is done. Sok, a master origamist and event planner for OMG, is an incredibly patient guide to the world of paper creasing... even with our constant fumbling through basic directions. He introduced us to the beautiful history of origami from China to Japan to even NASA, who now incorporates it into satellites for space. Sok was incredible with explaining the techniques. We were creating cranes within an hour! Which, by the way, will thoroughly empress everyone at your work all day.

We HIGHLY suggest you check out the group. Besides for the more intimate Thursday classes, the entire group meets monthly and there is the international conference held in NY in the summer.

Oh, and mark your calendar...national origami day is next Wednesday, November 11th. Head out to Times Square and you'll receive a crane!
