Paper folding paradise, 17 Aug 2007
This review is from: Kirigami: Flowers Bk. 3: Fun with Paper Folding and Cutting (Paperback)
This kirigami pack provides you with pictures of the finished project and the basic templates, as well as some paper to start. The book initially seems limited and brief, but can actually be adapted to suit the strengths of the client.
This art is often pitched as being harder than origami or tissue-art, but the designs at this level have an element of simplicity itself. This book is set at level 3, with designs that can be followed and adapted quite easily. Once a client can achieve a basic 'sandwich' fold, they can be directed to copy a design or do the cutting free hand and see what comes out.
This art can look stunning on cards and montages, but you must be careful not to overload clients that have issues with confusion or cognition. Thankfully, the simplicity of designs at this level means that one can demonstrate and assist in the making of a project even if you are not very experienced yourself, unlike many other art activities which can require a deft hand or knowledge of materials.
Clients with motor-deficits will find the cutting quite hard, but may still be engaged with the mounting of finished designs onto montages/cards.
Overall: brief at first, but with potential to be adapted for the group type and client base.
