REGISTER HERE (ends October 20th) The East Bay Origami Convention is an origami convention held at MLK Student Union in UC Berkeley. In contrast to PCOC (Pacific Coast Origami Convention), our convention is on a smaller scale, but will happen every year. Also, to be able to accommodate many origami enthusiasts in the area, admission costs are from $10-20. We are currently doing our best to create an amazing event for the origami community. The human mind allows us to create new ideas to design interesting origami models when we're awake, but how about when we are asleep? While sleeping, the mind continues to work and at some occasions we can imagine a world unknown to us. We might dream about having tea with a dragon. Or maybe the dragon is about to eat you in a nightmare you'd like to escape! Our Theme this year is Dreams and Nightmares. We encourage displays with models that depict much more than face value. What are some dreams that you have enjoyed? Or Nightmares that have frightened you at night? We will have a gallery of models on display, as well as volunteers teaching how to fold several of models. Also, you're more than welcome to submit a small paragraph about your display if you like! |
