Description

We will be creating a lamp shade by folding a repeating origami pattern. The lamp diffusion shade with either cover an LED light source or a traditional light bulb depending on previous activities and materials available.

Instructions

Begin with watching the videos and discussing the purpose of light diffusion. Then practicing the two illustrated folding patterns (v pleats and herringbone tessellation). Finally each participant should research their own pattern and begin to create their own unique lamp design.

Deliverables

Photograph your creations in a dark room to capture the diffusion qualities of the folded paper. If possible, display your creations in a dark room exhibition to share your work.
