This hands-on workshop introduces participants to the world of single-sheet paper sculpture, grounded in the principles of Miura-ori—a unique origami folding technique developed by Japanese astrophysicist Koryo Miura.

Led by Jeff Morrical, a sculptural artist with a background in architecture, the workshop explores how simple folding can transform a single sheet of paper into dynamic three-dimensional forms. Drawing from his interdisciplinary practice across architecture, design, and fine arts, Morrical guides participants through a creative process that reveals the geometric potential within paper.

Designed to be both accessible and challenging, this workshop welcomes participants of all ages, from children to adults.

Jeff MORRICAL 

The work of LA-based artist Jeff Morrical incorporates single-sheet paper sculptures shaped by folds and gravity. From many years working in the world of architecture, finding form, structure and pattern in everyday materials has always been a driving force in his work. While his artwork generally falls into the world of sculpture, the pieces can become canvas, costuming and props for movement and performance, toys for play, screens for projection - abundant possibilities in one of the world's most ubiquitous and humble materials. He's now on a mission to unlock the geometric properties latent in every sheet of material, one fold at a time.
