Hey! 👋

Quarantine is boring. But let’s make it fun by talking about origami!

Each session we invite an amazing origami artist and talk with them about their personal journey, origami, creative process, quarantine time and much more!

When Meenakshi Mukerji was introduced to modular origami, her passion for the art rekindled, and she began designing and displaying on her website. In 2005, OrigamiUSA presented her with the Florence Temko award. In 2007, her first book, Marvelous Modular Origami, was published, followed quickly by six more books. She has been a special guest at several origami conventions and contributes regularly to magazines. Though known for modulars, she designs single sheet origami as well. Born and raised in India, she has a BS in Electrical Engineering and an MS in Computer Science (USA). After a 15-year software career, she stayed home in CA devoting time to family, travel, origami design, authoring origami books and spreading the joy of origami.

 

Online Presence:

In this session I would like to talk about how I got started with origami, my website, diagramming, and my publishing experience.I can show my latest designs, though photos have been on social media.I would also like to give a mini tour of my workspace, which is mostly my family room and talk about some of the designs as I walk through.

 

We use the conferencing system Zoom. Please be aware that the session is being recorded and the available seats are limited to 100. We suggest you join on your laptop as the Zoom app on mobile and tablet is bit harder to work with.

Ali will start the conversation with the special guest. If you have a question that you would like to ask during the session, you ask it in the chat box and Ali call on your name and you will ask your question directly from the artist. We will try to go through as many questions as the time allows.
