Origami Events and Activities in Scotland
Posts about our bi-monthly mini-meetings
Scottish “mini meetings” are held on the last Sunday of the odd months (i.e. January, March, May, etc.). These are purely informal gatherings of folders who come together to teach and to learn new (at least to them) models. The locations for the meetings vary but are commonly split between Livingston, and Cairneyhill. You don’t need to be an experienced folder, just come along and have fun folding!

Welcome to the website of Origami Scotland! In reality we are simply a bunch of paperfolders in Scotland who get together every now and again to do some folding. Most of us are members of the British Origami Society. We also do teaching, displays, exhibitions……
If you wish to contact us to join in or ask about events, teaching, etc., please contact us at info@origamiscotland.co.uk.
Our next mini meeting will be held in Carneyhill in Fife on Sunday 29th March 2015 from 1-5pm.
If you would like to come along – even if you’ve never been to a meeting before – please just drop a line to minimeetings@origamiscotland.co.uk
Our Mini Meeting in January 2015 was held in Livingston.
Our November 2011 mini-meeting was held in Refrew with aMark Robinson as our “special guest”
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!
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.
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?
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.
