2013-01-27 Mini Meeting
An excellent mini meeting held in Livingston with some which saw Partha return for his first mini-meeting for a while, and a warm welcome to Olivia, our first new face in quite a while.
Lots of folding was achieved although only a couple of models – Martin led us through folding a simple Owl by Roman Diaz as a warm up, and then Dennis took us through what was probably our longest folding session to date where we all managed to fold Hideo Komatsu’s horse, albeit after much rustling, repeat explanations and cries of “you want us to do what?” A difficult model to teach, but extremely satisfying to achieve. Hopefully we haven’t scared away our new recruit!
2012-09-30 Mini meeting
An excellent mini meeting where Martin taught a Jewelery box by Max Hulme, and Dennis taught us Millefiori by Miyuki Kawamura, Oddball by Dave Brill, and his own Simple Dog head.
OUSA Convention 2012
Origami USA Convention June 2012 New York
For both Dennis & myself this was not only our first OUSA convention but out first trip to the big apple, just our luck that we had to run into a heat wave. Walking the streets of Manhattan in 100F+ was certainly not the highpoint of my week – the real highpoint was the convention itself.

Mini Meeting 27/05/2012 – Livingston
Another mini meeting, starting with an excellent “vigilante” mask which bears absolutely no resemblance to that worn by a certain super hero!
Can you identify the mystery folder?

2012-03-25 Mini Meeting
Mini meeting 25/03/2012 – Cairneyhill
A quiet meeting with just four of us but we managed to some folding – in between a lot of laughter, tea, coffee, chocolate and all the other traditional elements of any mini-meeting.
2012-02-27 RSPB Scotland
In February 2012 we were contacted by the RSPB team in Edinburgh who were looking for help to fold 200 – 250 cranes as table decoration for their first annual RSPB Nature of Scotland awards dinner.
Held at the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh and hosted by comedian and presenter Fred MacAulay, the awards recognise and celebrate excellence, innovation and outstanding achievement in nature conservation.
After some discussion the folding was split such that the RSPB and their volunteers would aim for 120 cranes, whilst we took on folding 120 flapping birds.
2008 Exhibition
In 2008 members of Origami Scotland mounted an Origami Exhibition in the Museum of Edinburgh for approx 3 months.
After much debate we decided to mount an exhibition explaining the progress of origami from its earliest beginnings with some traditional models progressing through more and more complex models to (photos) of some of the super complex models now emerging.
