	Jonathan Rebouillat, Workshop & Talk Duration : 1h30 ca Model : Tichodrome échelette Level : * Equipment :** Square of watercolor paper 20 cm (Arches 185 g/m2), painted with red acrylic on one face. Small clothespins, metal clips, masking tape, a glass of water (optional : hairdryer)	My name is Jonathan Rebouillat, I am 31 years old and I live in Ardèche, in a yurt, with my partner and my 10 month old little girl. We live surrounded by forests, birds and wildlife. It is a great joy and an immense source of inspiration to observe them and to forge links with these beings who share this little piece of land with us. My work on paper is instinctive and meditative, a way of making palpable the emotion that comes over me when I meet an animal. The wet folding technique is a great source of freedom and allows you to simply obtain curves, so present in life all around us.
	Hans-Werner Guth, Eifel Bowl Duration : 1 h 15 ca Model : Eifel Bowl Level : Equipment :** 12 squares (7,5 cm or 10 cm), Assorted colors.	As a child, I folded the salt shaker, flying objects and the water bomb… nothing for 50 years ! In 2004, a heart attack forced me to reduce my working time and in 2008 I rediscovered folding paper. First by folding models published on the web, then modifying some of them by adding or modifying folds, then starting to fold my own ideas. My first published model was Jump, a mixture of curved and straight lines. Then came a Triangular Bag, the Eifel star, the 3D-Maltese cross… I got a lot of help from other Origami “freeks”! Especially from Francis Ow, who often gave me tasks or problems to solve. Best to sit at a table with friends to fold up and chat ! sometimes origami, sometimes politics, children’s education … One of the things that helps me make crisp folds is a good folder. A few years ago I started making my own with hardwoods … being a member of DingFabrik Cologne has been very helpful !
	Mark Bolitho, Pop-Up Box & Fir Tree Duration : 1h ca Model : Pop-Up Box & Fir Tree Level : Equipment :** Squares 15 cm at least. Two-color for the box.	Mark Bolitho works as an origami designer. He has written many books and traveled around the world promoting origami
	MFPP, Live for all Discovery and initiation to origami for the general public. Live session on Youtube. Duration : 50’ ca Level : * Equipment : Carrés de 15 cm type Kami et A4 standard	General public session organized as part of the Virtual Meetings.
	Tetsuya Gotani, Cats & Fox Duration : 1 h Models : Chat & Renard Level : Equipment :** squares 15 cm Kami	I am an origami designer of Japanese origin living in France. I started creating in 2009. My first origami book Origamix theory & challenges was published in 2019 by Origami Shop. In general, I create figurative models of intermediate and complex level.
	Matthieu Chicouène, Fox & Dinosaur Duration : 1h30 ca Model : Fox & minimalist dinosaur Level : * Equipment :** bicolor kami or metallic silk (20×20 cm)	In the last year of hydrogeology studies (groundwater + pebbles), I have been bending regularly for about 5 years. I like models of medium complexity, geometric, with a pleasant fold sequence and / or which play on color changes. Hideo Komatsu’s owl and Román Díaz’s Toy Horse remain my favorite models. My few creations are simple models, mainly animals, where I try to use the two colors of the paper to quickly obtain characteristic features.
	« Sous les carrés, la plage ?« Composition d’illustration de cartes postales Durée : 1 h 30 Pliage réalisé : Divers Niveau : Matériel à prévoir :** Feuilles bicolores type kami (15 cm), couleurs variées. Matériel de découpe et collage (facultatif).	Les vacances, les voyages et les amis nous ont beaucoup manqués depuis un an. Le MFPP vous propose une série de petits modèles pour composer des scènes de carte postale, que vous pourrez adapter et compléter pour les prendre en photo et envoyer vos meilleurs souvenirs de vacances idéales à l’association et à vos amis !
	Hubert Villeneuve, Volcano Duration : 1 h 30 Model : Volcan Level : ** Equipment :** square bicolor (> 30 cm). sandwich paper recommended. Glue useful.	My name is Hubert Villeneuve, Canadian. For the past fifteen years, I have created more than 200 complex box-pleating origami models (orthogonal grid-based folding). My specialties are multiple : characters, 2D landscapes and objects. With each creation, I try to achieve at least a change in color and flexibility in the modeling. Like any origamist, I try to adhere to the basic rules (a single uncut square), but I will not hesitate to break them to achieve my ends.
	Claire Landre, Inside Reverse Fold Cat Duration : environ 1h Model : Chat de Fumiaki Kawahata Level : Equipment :** bicolor square (15 cm).	As a child, I learned about the boat, the cocotte, the blast devil, Heaven and Hell … I didn’t know it was origami. In 1991, here I am in Tokyo, I brought back as a souvenir 3 small folding books, the famous « Color books ». They educated me as a folder, to the chagrin of those around me ! In 2006, I had the idea of typing The word into a search engine … I was snapped up and never got out, much to my delight. I regularly run workshops, I teach, but I’m not (yet?) A designer. I particularly like the elegance of the model and also the efficiency of a sequence of folds. Thank you origami for letting me come out of my shell.
	Jonathan Rebouillat, Fox Duration : 1 h 15 Model : Renard de Jonathan Rebouillat Level : * Equipment :** long strip (5×50 cm) watercolor paper (Arches, 185g/m2), painted in orange-red on one face.

	Pierre-Yves Gallard, Grand Vizir Duration : 1 h Model : Grand Vizir de P.-Y. Gallard Level : * Equipment :** 2 square of bicolor kami (15 cm et 10 cm)	I discovered origami 6 or 7 years ago, initially through videos on YouTube, then through models by Jun Maekawa, Hideo Komatsu and Roman Diaz. After a few years of solitary folding, I participated in my first convention (OORAA 2018) and I joined the Orilyon club in the process. Encouraged by the members of the club, I started to create my own models, as a folder I am particularly drawn to the very stylized figurative models, with simple geometric lines, like the fish of Beth Johnson, the lion of Ashimura Shunichi or Oriol Esteve’s raccoon. As a designer, I strive to give personality to my models : more than realism, it is expressiveness that I am looking for.
	MFPP, Open Stage Duration : 2 h Model : Good question ! Level : -* Equipement :** Various papier (square & A4)	In the tradition of the Rue Coriolis Online sessions, the MFPP invites its members and meeting participants to teach their favorite short models (teaching time 10 – 15 ’). Creators or folders, this is an opportunity for everyone to share their folds and get started in online education ! Do you want to get started during this session ?
