The MFPP now welcomes you on Wednesdays

By

Since September, the association's office is now open to all its members every Wednesday from 2PM to 5PM.
This new opening time mainly focuses on reading diagrams and is managed by Raymonde Bonnefille.

This meeting aims both beginners and people who like complex folds and has a twofold organization:

  • From 2PM to 4PM: folding from a diagram. It's the opportunity to release some of the thousands books of the orithèque from their slumber.
  • From 4PM to 5MP: folding “altogether“ a common model that has been discovered and folded by one of the participants.

To participate, it is mandatory to have your membership up to date and minors must be accompanied by an adult.

You can find all our opening hours at the following webpage: The association office.

Volume 4 – L’art du pliage de papier

By

24 models from Alain Georgeot, diagrammed by Christophe Curat. The 4th issue of the “Art of paper folding” went to press.
It will be available during “rencontres de mai” but it is already possible to pre-order it.

Born in 1952, I was hoping to make a career in literature. I was certainly a worker! Since then, I have travelled to 105 countries and met people who often had the same existential problem as I: being humbly oneself, but also being a little acknowledged, in order to justify one's presence on earth! Origami allows this!
I have been practicing origami since 1983, thanks to Akira Yoshizawa and Jean-Claude Correia, and it has given me the chance to meet exceptional and very “ordinary” people.
I have learned a lot from both. Multiple sclerosis, paradoxically, helped me too.
And also helped by my wife Dominique, who at the time of dying said: “I love you all!”.
She even added for me: “Live with a Smile, Love, Courage‡!”.
I suggest you put that in your bag! And origami will be your faithful companion, like another you!

Alain Georgeot

‡: in the original French, the first letters of “Sourire, Amour, Courage” spell the word SAC, which means ‘a bag’ in English.
