Twelve year-old Sejin Park traveled all the way from Korea to attend the OrigamiUSA Annual Convention He also taught a workshop at the Children's Museurr of Art in Manhattan. Sejin's mother Hyun Kyung Lee, a graduate from the Pratt Institute, helped organize the workshop for Sejin to teach children and adults some of the hundreds of models he has been creating since he started folding paper at the age of six. Sejin also folds designs creatd by masters, like the Satoshi Kamiya dinosaur he is holding in the cover picture. Photo bv Andrew Cribb
