Holy Toledo.  This video took 90 minutes to upload.  I'll try to post a clip each night or early morning, but after I get home it will be easier to share more of these.  

Below, Charles demonstrates a (mixed) star fold that is hammered half on the folded edge and half on the open edge.  It takes place midway through yesterday's hands-on session.  He had demonstrated quite a few star variations earlier in the day, and this one is a review, by request, to help us practice.

August 2012 on SueLacy Wired is dedicated to the 5th annual Charles Lewton-Brain Conference on Foldforming, taking place Aug 3-6 at the Center for Metal Arts in downstate NY.  To view the series, click category "5th Annual Charles Lewton-Brain Conference" in the far right column on this page.
