picFátima Granadeiro, Portogual
Name: Maria de Fátima Neves Granadeiro da Silva,
normally known as Fátima Granadeiro

I'm teacher, I have a Basic School degree and now I'm taking a Master degree in Education. I have also an Accounting degree.
In 1986 when I started to study Japanese culture (Ikebana) I came across with Origami. As all the Portuguese children I knew how to fold a boat, a bird and a few more. My first exhibition (1986) was held in a Seminary for handicap people and since then I have worked in various occasions to develop this wonderful art.
I went to some international conventions, in Spain and Italy when I met many Origami friends. I also have a seminary with Master Toyoaki Kawai when he came to Lisbon.
I have published four handcraft books for Basic School and in Origami area I have a few works published in Italy, Spain end one in America.
As teacher I always speak about the skills of Origami in different curricular areas in many Portuguese schools.
Besides the educational area I also have tried to increase people interest for the different Origami areas through demonstrations, conferences, workshops, and exhibitions.
During all this years I have the great honour of being supported by the Japanese Embassy staff.
Last year (30 August 2008) I received a Special Commendation by HARA Satoshi, Ambassador of Japan to Portugal, on behalf of the Government and the people of Japan for the invaluable services rendered towards promoting cross-cultural understanding and friendship between the peoples of Japan and Portugal, what shows that was worthwhile all the effort done during the last twenty-two years for developing Origami in Portugal.
To commemorate the occasion in 21 August I have started a blog about Origami and Education.

picFrancis Ow, Singapore
I am now 59 years old and I have been doing Origami since I was a kid. I do not remember exactly how old I was when I started folding but I remember it was before I started going to school. As for creative origami, I started designing my own models in 1978. That means 30 years of creative Origami. I fold all kinds of models but I like Geometric Folding. I specialise in Modular Origami and of course Heart models.
Peace and Harmony through Origami.

picAnne R. LaVin, USA
Anne LaVin has been practicing origami for over 35 years, ever since being introduced to it (and loving it immediately) in elementary school. A member of OrigamiUSA, the Japan Origami Academic Society, the British Origami Society, Nippon Origami Association, Mouvement Francais des Plieurs de Papier and the Polish Origami Society, she regularly attends workshops and conventions in New York and, when possible, in Japan and the rest of the world. Her origami interests span the range of the craft, in style, content and technique, from representational and sculptural to geometric and mathematical, and extend to a variety of related paper crafts, including papermaking and bookbinding. She is extremely fortunate to have studied with Michael LaFosse at the Origamido Studio for many years, and considers Michael her primary inspiration in origami style and technique. Currently she manages the nearly 900-member Origami Mailing List (a public internet discussion group) along with friend and origami artist, Joseph Wu.
