Hi all As advertised in the recent BOS Magazine and on our web-site, the BOS Autumn Convention is taking place at Swansea University, Singleton Park Campus, Swansea SA2 8PP over the weekend of Fri 2nd - Sunday 4th Sept. It is the first BOS convention held in Wales, so “Croeso i Gymru!” (Welcome to Wales), and there will be a Welsh flavour to the weekend.
We hope you planning on going to the convention. Our special guest at this Convention will be Maria Sinayskaya, an origami artist who is mostly known for her modular origami designs — kusudamas and stars, inspired by her mathematical background & love for geometry. Born and raised in Russia, Maria now resides in Durban, South Africa. See her web-site www.goorigami.com for more information. Maria will be teaching some of her wonderful designs at the convention, and copies of her new book “Zen Origami” will be available. We would like to invite any other attendees to teach a class. This may be one of your own designs, a model from the Model Collection (contact us for details), or a model of your choice (please ask for permission from the designer). Alternatively you may wish to do a workshop or give a talk. Simple, intermediate and complex models are all welcome! If you are interested, then please contact Nigel, Gwyneth or myself and we will send you a teaching form and details of the models in the collection if you require them. Please send us a copy of the diagrams if you can for inclusion in our Model Collection, and a photo of the completed model. If you would like to come to the convention but have not yet booked, you can do so via the BOS website at http://www.britishorigami.info/society/meetings/condata.php We look forward to hearing from you. Iechyd Da!
