Fold With Us

Open endless possibilities, curiosity, creativity, and new ways of seeing and thinking when you jump into a workshop! Discover geometry, pattern, and beauty through every fold in this hands-on, nontraditional practice with folding circles. Students of all ages engage in creative expression—artistically and mathematically—across science, architecture, philosophy, and the arts.

A circle-folding workshop promotes:

All circle-folding programs follow the same process, facilitating a hands-on experience that allows the folder to make their own observations, connections, and choices. Participants leave with a process for continued exploration.

Whether a single workshop, series, residency, or retreat, we tailor the approach to your community. Fold with us in person or live online—and discover the circle in a whole new way!

Folding circles builds:

  • Spatial visualization
  • Pattern recognition
  • Math & geometry vocabulary
  • Fine-motor skills
  • Group collaboration & individual expression

"The Circlebook-making workshop invited and allowed me to be creative rather than following a step-by-step process that someone was telling/showing me what/how to do."

“I remain a staunch fan of [circlefolding] both as an intellectual exercise and a compelling study in the precision of mechanics and design. The artistry of the outcomes call for a deeper understanding of the structure of all the beauty we know.”
