Polish Origami Association - Paper Phantasies
I am glad to announce that a new polish origami association
has been established! The full name of the organization is Polish
Origami Association - Paper Phantasies, and it has been established
as a result of an initiative of www.origami.art.pl editorial
staff during a meeting of over twenty origami enthusiasts in
July. This decision was a direct reply for the lack of a similar
organization meeting needs of growing group of origami enthusiasts.
Apart from propagating the art of folding in Poland and integrating
polish origami society, we are open and would like to make contacts
with foreign origami enthusiasts, exchange experiences with
them, learn and help polish designers come into being abroad.
We want to achieve all of that by fulfilling our statute
goals (below):
Popularizing Origami.
It is our main goal, which so far has been successfully fulfilled
by the website www.origami.art.pl. Origami is still an art
rarely known in Poland, but the number of its enthusiasts
is rapidly increasing - for those people we want to provide
a backup of information and materials. In the future we hope
to establish branches of the Association in many polish cities;
organize meetings and workshops for both children and adults.
Among our aims in that matter are also didactic classes for
teachers and origami instructors
Helping people already familiar with Origami to develop
their skills.
We believe that learning and exchanging experiences and materials
will be easier in the Association. The Association is also
willing to help the designers in exhibiting their works on
the Internet and in our publications. We will support the
beginning designers.
An important aim of our organization is publishing.
At the beginning, we will regularly publish a bulletin with
diagrams, photos of models and texts of mainly polish creators.
In the future we want to publish books as well.
We will further develop www.origami.art.pl website.
We will still display a part of our work on the website, but
the majority of it will be available only for members of Association
in the bulletin. We are interested in exchanging links, so
please contact us if you are a webmaster of origami-related
website.
Cooperating with similar organizations around
the world is another important aim of the Association.
Our origami website seems to be very popular also among foreign
origami enthusiasts.We hope that the Association gain similiar
interest. Contacting foreign designers in order to learn
and
exchange experiences; inviting foreign origami instructors
for classes in Poland and helping our members to go abroad
in the same purpose; organizing exhibitions outside Poland
- all these are aims of our Association.
- We offer a full
membership for foreigners.
We invite anyone interested to send his/her opinions on
the subject and ideas for fulfilling statute aims. We are
waiting for any materials you would like to share with us
as well. Please contact me: piotrpluta@o2.pl; Piotr Pluta
Dobrzynska 12, Czestochowa 42-200, Poland.
We have a lot of work ahead, but we hope that we will succeed
also with your help.
