Wet-Folding

Wet-Folding Technical Basic 50 hours Requires: Origami

Wet-folding is an origami technique that employs water to dampen the paper so that it can be manipulated more easily. This process adds an element of sculpture to origami, which is otherwise purely geometric. Wet-folders usually employ thicker paper than would usually be used for normal origami, to ensure that the paper does not tear. The process of wet-folding allows a folder to preserve a curved shape more easily. It also reduces the number of wrinkles substantially.
