AWOL is a weekly, informal folding meetup where participants can share a model, learn from another folder or get help with a tricky step. The Nov. 5 gathering is upstairs at Whole Foods Market on Madison Avenue.

The AWOL meeting invites people to bring a project—and the fold they have not quite figured out. Hosted by OMG NYC, the smaller after-work gathering makes teaching and learning part of folding together, rather than promising a particular model or a fixed lesson.
The event listing distinguishes AWOL from OMG NYC’s larger monthly meetings, describing it as a more intimate place to fold. That scale suits a format where participants can bring recent work for show-and-tell, share a favorite model to teach, or ask others for help with a model they are working on.
The group’s profile describes origami as an ancient folding art and connects the word to Japanese oru, meaning “to fold,” and kami, meaning “paper.” That background fits a meetup centered on learning by making and sharing, rather than watching a published program.
