Description

Michael G. LaFosse is recognised internationally as a leading educator and author in the field of origami, and his remarkably complex works are exhibited in galleries and museums around the world. This latest edition of his landmark book, Advanced Origami, contains a new introduction by his co-author and noted paper artist Richard L. Alexander, along with DVD video lessons for 15 original projects.

Advanced Origami: An Artist's Guide to Folding Techniques and Paper provides clear diagrams and instructions, allowing experienced paper folders to recreate the 15 original origami masterpieces. The folding methods are certainly challenging and advanced, but the results are both spectacular and rewarding. LaFosse offers the reader a vast and inspiring range of amazing objects and origami techniques in which to engage.

The 15 intricate, lifelike projects featured include:

Toco Toucan
Cattleya Orchid
Horseshoe Crab
Praying Mantis
Hummingbird
Bats
Panther Mask
Sea Turtle

And much more!

In addition to his wonderful models, LaFosse also provides tips on advanced folding techniques, advice for choosing and preparing the best paper for a given project, and recipes for making your own handmade papers.

"15 projects, which are all natural history subjects, and LaFosse's signature models are included in this book. Advanced Origami doesn't necessarily mean complex models; in fact, some of the included models are rather simple, and most are intermediate to high intermediate. They are realistic, aesthetically pleasing models. Rather than focusing on complexity, this book is more about higher quality in work, such as by carefully choosing paper, preparing, and folding with special techniques. It is written for experienced folders who are seeking to advance their folding techniques...Overall, I am quite impressed at how much content this book offers. Any origami enthusiasts would enjoy not only the 15 beautiful models but also the special techniques that aren't offered elsewhere. It seems like such a bargain at less than $20!" - Yuki's Origami blog

About the Author

Michael G. LaFosse has been an origami artist for decades and is considered a leading authority and master of the art. An avid teacher, LaFosse co-founded the Origamido Studio, a learning center and design studio dedicated to the art of origami, and the only place in the world specializing in hand papermaking for the origami artist. Origamido also produces folded art and commercial designs for a variety of international clients. LaFosse co-curated Origami Now!, a wildly popular, year-long exhibition at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. Vanessa Gould prominently featured LaFosse in the Peabody Award-winning film, Between the Folds.

Richard L. Alexander co-founded the Origamido Studio with Michael G. LaFosse in 1996. He has been the chief papermaker, holding workshops since 2003, and is a frequent collaborator with other famous paper artists. He holds a degree from Cornell University in biology (systems ecology), where he also studied landscape architecture and design. He has consulted with apparel, container, toy and consumer product designers to incorporate folding theory into familiar daily use objects. Together, Alexander and LaFosse have created dozens of origami exhibitions, and over 75 books, kits and videos about paper and paper arts.
