The evolution of the foldforming technique as pioneered by Charles
Lewton-Brain is best described as a creative combination of origami
with other forming techniques. The conference is an opportunity for
foldforming artists to work with and learn directly from Charles
Lewton-Brain. Registration details for the conference are available
