We’re thrilled Xudong Guan will be sharing his beautiful origami creations at the Heartland Maker Fest again this year. Come see how amazing objects can be generated through nothing but simple folds on a single piece of paper.

This year at the Fest, Xudong will be doing a live demonstration of the Art of Origami by creating a piece similar to this pegasus:

When we asked him about his background, he said:

I probably started folding stuff about 5 years ago and was amazed by the origami designs.  It’s kind of like magic and everything starts with one piece of paper. After that I just kept folding and designing something occasionally.

Before you go buying a new 3D printer, remember what you can do with a piece of paper and a few years practice!
