Frank Ling

Teaches at New York Botanical Garden

Ever since his grandfather folded a frog from a dollar bill, Frank Ling has had a fascination with the art of paper folding. Largely self-taught, Frank started folding at the age of five. In 2012, he began working as an instructor at Taro's Origami Studio in Park Slope. In the studio, he spends his time teaching students, leading workshops and field trips, and has been involved with numerous commissions and corporate projects. Outside of Taro's, Frank has done consulting work for The Mill and collaborated with local Brooklyn artist Erika Barratt. He has also folded many, many models for his friends and family. 

 Frank enjoys all disciplines of the art and tackles new models as quickly as he finds them. For a challenge, he prefers the work of Satoshi Kamiya. He also likes folding tessellations, creating new patterns with corrugations, and inventing new models.

    Wish handouts came with this class or follow-up videos. Towards the end it went rather quickly so I was unable to complete the 8 sided structure. Otherwise enjoyed very much. Also, the discrepancy between the advertised start time and actually start time was unfortunate.

    The teacher was obviously good and knew his stuff, and the fact that he had help to monitor the class was great. I made what I expected to make. But there was a clerical error so the class started an hour late, which was just annoying, especially since the sponsor was not transparent about why there was an error. Also no handouts were provided, so you'd better hope to remember everything you learned, since you don't have anything written to help you remember.
