Hi, 5/18/2016 I just got a call from Mr. Deniz Gunes, representing the Shenlik Turkish cultural festival, http://shenlik.com/ which will be held over Memorial Day weekend, 2016 in Clifton NJ (Passaic County, northern NJ). They are looking for someone to teach origami for 1-2 hours on Saturday afternoon, May 28, starting at 5:00pm.
If I could, I'd do it myself just for the food! Turkish food is wonderful! Here is what I know. The teaching will be done outside under a tent. They will provide tables, chairs. You should discuss who provides paper. It might be possible to negotiate an honorarium. I assume that you'd be teaching beginners in noisy surroundings, so easy traditional models like the Newspaper Hat would be good choices (rather than the eye-catching, complex model shown on the festival's website program). You can see the layout and pictures of the festival on the Gallery page. The festival address is: 492 Clifton Ave, Clifton, NJ 07011 (not far from the Garden State Parkway and Rte 46 interchange). It's held under the auspices of the Turkish American Educational and Cultural Foundation of NJ. If you are interested, please call or email Deniz Gunes directly (not me!) as soon as possible: Deniz Gunes 585-490-7821 hdgu...@gmail.com http://shenlik.com/ Happy folding!
