Conventions

our 40th anniversary conventionMeeting other folders is a great experience, and one of the best places to do it is at a convention. The BOS organises a 2 or 3 day residential weekend, usually at a University venue, during the Spring and Summer vacations. These conventions are heaven for folders everywhere! New members are made especially welcome, as are children and "non-folding" partners. Our forthcoming conventions are;

Liverpool 12-14 September

Whatever your interest in origami, there will be someone at the convention who shares your views and you will soon bump into them. Equally importantly, you will find that your enthusiasm for origami will increase, your folding skills will improve, and your knowledge of origami will have multiplied many times after coming to a convention.

Here's a list of previous conventions, many with a related gallery page.

You will be able to choose from an impressive range of books and paper, provided by our very own supplies department as well as Book Ends of London, who attend whenever possible. You can meet up with members of the BOS council and ask them any questions you have about the way the society is run, and to volunteer your services. We welcome help from anyone, great or small!

If this is all a bit much, why not start out with a local mini-meeting?
