Nick Robinson

Nick Robinson (born 8 January 1957 in Burnham-on-Sea, England) is a British paperfolder. He was awarded the Sydney French Medal in 2004 by the British Origami Society and is an Honorary Member and President of the British Origami Society. He has folded a kaleidoscope of projects over the course of his career, but is drawn to folding containers, masks, and simple designs. His approach to origami is to try and capture the essence of a subject using minimal creases, rather than a more realistic representation. He is actively involved with the Folding Didactic movement, which aims to promote academic study of the history of paper-folding and the most effective way to teach it. Publications Robinson is a prolific author, having written nearly 100 books of origami. Some of the books written by Robinson include: World's Best Origami 2010 Origami For Dummies Wiley & Co 2008 Picture Perfect Origami St. Martin's Griffin 2008 The Origami Giftbox Firefly Books 2006. A Beginners Guide to Origami Parragon Books, 2006. Encyclopedia of Origami Quarto Publishing 2005. Pub Origami New Holland Publishers 2005. Adult Origami New Holland Publishers 2004.
