PAPER at Sakura-Con 2010
Sakura-Con (pronounced ‘Sa-ku-ra-con) is a Japanese Animation(Anime), manga (comics), gaming, and Asian-culture convention. The convention is being held at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center for Pacific Northwest anime fans, also known as “Otaku”, where the emphasis is on FUN! Sakura-Con began in 1998 as a small, three-day event — a party for anime fans at the Double Tree Inn, in Tukwila Washington. The convention has grown dramatically in the past 5 years in terms of attendees, guest speakers, companies, and press attending the event. Operated by an all-volunteer staff, their main goal is for everyone to have a good time…from our guest speakers to our attendees. We are happy to say that this is one thing we excel at and that they are known for.
As in years past, PAPER will be participating at the festival with a booth to teach the visitors origami. We will be located in the Youth Matsuri, in Room 310. The hours of the festival are Friday 10am – 6pm; Saturday 10am – 6pm; Sunday 10am – 2pm. Come join us.
In addition to our general folding, Ray Takeuchi, of PAPER, will be hosting two workshops for more structured origami instruction. Participate in transforming a sheet of paper into an intriguing and beautiful model. Saturday 1:30-2:30pm and Sunday 1:00-2:00pm Room 206.
