These photos were taken at the British Origami Society autumn convention 2000 meeting. This was held in the city of York in the North of England. Despite the recent 'petrol crisis' there was a good turn-out, with most people coming by train. This led, however, to a new 'paper crisis' as the paper ran out on Sunday! Never-the-less, we bravely carried on. I taught a few dinosaurs and exhibited some of my newer creations, including the Silver Dragon 2000 photographed below. Jun Maekawa Jun Maekawa is one the most respected folder there is and was one of the many folders to visit the conference. His 'devil' design is world famous and the complexity of his models stunning. He taught a delightful sheep and a lovely dragon design was in the conference booklet. Here he shows that he is a master of cat's cradle as well as folding. Herman van Goubergen Herman is another internationally acclaimed artist. Several of his models are displayed on the internet, including the well known 'Gecko and fly on a wall'. He gave a lecture on a new type of modular origami using tension rather than friction to hold the models together. He also displayed some of his models, including the reflected skull. However, my lousy camera managed to ruin every picture I took, so you'll have to imagine how good they were! (yes, I know, a poor workman blames his tools, etc...) There were many other works on display. David Brill showed us his new cat model, along with variation of the traditional Jackstone design. Maarten van Gelder brought along an impressive selection of models. Photos show some giant modular pieces based on designs by David Brill and Tomoko Fuse, a couple dancing with one in a wheelchair, and a realistic Christmas cactus. I met Julia Pallfy from Switzerland, who created an entire medieval court, including a rampaging dragon. She was impressed by my Silver dragon model, shown here, and I attempted to teach this in the bar after the first day, with limited success. Max Hulme brought along a series of models displaying his own unique touch. Seen here are my two favourites, the three wise monkeys and a collection of chess pieces, all delightfully folded. Lastly, here is a selection of photos showing different models displayed throughout the weekend.
