You may remember Xudong’s amazing table from last years event,. Where he not only presented completed pieces of art but also gave us a live demonstration of the art of Origami by creating this amazing gryphon piece during the faire.
Gryphon by Xudong Guan – Created at the 2013 UC Mini Maker Fest
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.
So before you go buying a new 3D printer remember what you can do with a piece of paper and a few years practice!
