OMG NYC (Origami Meetup Group! New York City) is a group for people to come together and share the beautiful art of Origami.

Origami is an ancient art of folding various mediums, most commonly paper. Other materials often folded are fabric, wire mesh, sheet metal, tissue, thin plastic, cardboard, and straws. The word comes from the combination of the Japanese verb oru (to fold) and the noun kami (paper).

We will meet at least once a month, to teach each other new models and share paper, books, and tips; also to organize special folding retreats and paper shopping tours in the city.

Every Thursday we will have a weekly meeting downtown in the evening after work. check out the calendar for more details.

Some special meetings will be scheduled and geared to specific folding interests like Modulars, Complex, $ bill folding, Practical/Home Decor, Greeting Cards, Paper Making, Folding Non-traditional Materials as mentioned above and more...

This group is open to folders of all levels, from beginners interested in starting a new hobby to the advanced folder...

So Come Join Us & Get Into The fold!!
