OMG NYC (Origami Meetup Group! New York City) is a group for people to come together and share in the beautiful art of Origami – the ancient art of folding various mediums, most commonly paper. The word comes from the combination of the Japanese verb oru (to fold) and the noun kami (paper). Other materials often folded are fabric, wire mesh, sheet metal, tissue, thin plastic, cardboard, and straws.
We meet at least once a month as a large group 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. Our regular schedule is every third Saturday of the month at the 53rd St. branch of The New York Public Library.
