Centerfold Origami Convention Recap
| | For the past two years, we've made the long drive from Rochester, NY to Columbus, Ohio to attend the Centerfold origami conference. This year, the special guests were Paul Jackson, Miri Golan and Won Park. Steve Pittlekow also taught paper marbling classes; we have some of his marbled papers for sale in our paper department.
It seems like we brought our entire origami department to the show; there was hardly room for us in the van! Conference attendees were able to take advantage of our show specials, and sort through our massive collection as they pleased. There was quite a bit of interest in our metallic papers, and our dual sided papers. While small in size, there was no lack of passion for paper folding at the Centerfold conference this year, and we hope to return next year. You can view our huge origami selection here!

This is a simple yet very useful tool for all visual artists.

There are also printed ratio finders, a table of measurements, instructions for choosing the best size for your composition, instructions for enlarging or reducing using a graph, and more instructions on using the Three in One Plus View Finder. Printed on heavy duty, bi-folded card stock. When folded, the View Finder measures 5-1/16x11 inches. Order the Picture Perfect View Finder here.
