Adeline Klam

With no more than a square of paper, a touch of glue or a thread of string, there appears under her fingers, as if by magic, fold after fold of surprise and wonder. This is the work of Adeline Klam.

Having been trained at the Duperré schoo, Paris, in Textile Arts and Printing, Adeline has always loved the interplay of pattern and colour. But her passion for paper really began when she discovered Japanese paper or washi. She was inspired by the beauty of these original designs, learned to master the material and now runs workshops where she exhibits and sells her creations, from origami garlands to decorative stationery.

Adeline is the author of numerous books, including Simple Origami, The Paper Bible and Furoshiki Workshop. She has 40,000 Instagram followers (@adelineklam); and you can enter her colourful world at www.adelineklam.com

Adeline lives in Paris, France.
