About this title

About the Author:

Michael G. LaFosse, origami artist and papermaker, has been practicing the art of paper folding for more than 25 years. He teaches, designs, and works as a consultant to museums and schools. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States. LaFosse's interest in paper folding began at the age of 7. At the age of 12, he was inspired to begin creating his own original designs after seeing the extraordinary origami art of Japanese master Akira Yoshizawa. He has since had the opportunity to visit Japan and study with Yoshizawa.

Origami designs by LaFosse have been featured in books, film, and computer programs, and in designer displays at Symphony Hall in Boston and at SAKS Fifth Avenue in New York. His original designs for this series blend origami, paper construction, and special folding techniques to produce elegant results. Through workshops, videos, and finding new venues for showing his work, LaFosse is bringing the ancient art of origami to a widening audience.
