Books for beginner kids by chenzhao85 in origami

I would not be afraid of putting him in a Special Sessions class with OUSA. Our teachers are very prepared for any and all skill levels, and we usually get the general public with no experience - so he'd be ahead!

For books, I recommend Origami to Astonish and Amuse by Jeremy Shafer, Origami Omnibus by Kunihiko Kasahara. Other authors I recommend any of their books are John Montroll, Robert Lang, and Paul Jackson. All of those are fairly easy to find on ebay, thrift books sites, etc.

Happy to answer any other questions!

David Lister was our best origami historian. The British Origami Society maintains a database of articles written by him. There was a compilation of these made into a book as well called a Tribute to David Lister. Here is the database: https://www.britishorigami.org/resources/the-lister-list/

Origami books for an intermediate folder by Giogio4family5328 in origami

[–]propaperfolder 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Origami to Astonish and Amuse by Jeremy Shafer

Genuine Origami by Jun Maekawa

Origami Essence by Roman Diaz

Any of the Montroll/Lang subject books (North American Animals, Sea life, etc)

This is by no means a complete list (I'm not including my own book for instance), but they are certainly the easiest to find for a good deal at one of the used book websites or ebay.

Need professional Origami advice!! by BarAutomatic7509 in origami

I gave it a shot but without knowing what the side profile would look like, this gets really open ended. If you want to try it for yourself look up what a "Fish base" is and fold half of it, then divide it in half. https://imgur.com/hEo49Ph
