What you’ll need

You don’t need much to begin — just suitable paper, a clear surface and a willingness to practise.

For beginners, we usually recommend starting with 15cm Kami paper. It is lightweight, easy to fold and forgiving while you build accuracy.

If you already have a specific model or skill you’d like to work on, mention it when enquiring.
