Last Thursday, April 4, Whitman Events Board Creative Arts organized an origami paper folding workshop in Reid Coffeehouse. While the event was met with low attendance, those who came were supplied with plain color and patterned paper and large instruction sheets for a wide variety of designs including boxes, birds, and balloons. Students were able to take their creations home with them. Pioneer photographer Faith Bernstein brings us photos.

PBS documentary "Between the Folds" portrays the changing shape of origami to Whitman students. The film was shown alongside a presentation by origami artist Joseph Wu, and exposes the aesthetic and scientific prospects of this unique art form.
