History
The CFC was established in 2016 by Bernie Peyton, Nicolas Terry, and Ilan Garibi. At the start, it was all about a convention focused on helping origami creators to become better at whatever they do. After the first Convention for Creators (2017), in Lyon, and the second in Zaragoza, (2020), with the Covid pandemic, it was necessary to expand the focal point of the CFC, and it became a Community for Creators.
In mid-2020, Michael Shannon built the CFC site to support the community activities.
In 2026, we expanded our focal point to include all the major parts of the origami universe: folders, creators, and communities. Following that, we renamed the site to Everything Origami.
Our Aim
This site will support the global origami community by improving the success rate of all origami projects, either by origami creators, origami groups, or folders.
- For creators, our aim is to improve their individual success, in the artistic and economic fields, allowing high-level exchange of information and ideas between them.
- For groups, our aim is to allow access to all creators and to present their events to the folding community.
- For folders, our aim is to allow interaction with the creators and to be updated with the latest origami news, books, diagrams, events, etc.
Who We Are
The CFC site was created and is maintained by Michael Shannon.
