Lisa B. Corfman

As a proud and caring educator and Jewish origami artist, I make, sell, teach and showcase the art form, all the while kindling creativity. Building a community with friends and family, students and teachers, and the little children of the future, is a love I cannot explain. Sparked by my Jewish roots, my aptitude in art, and joy in community, I value learning and social opportunities to grow and bond, and to provide you with a piece of creative activity from my soul.

Biography

Born and raised in the Boston area, Lisa B. Corfman is an artist, teacher, and spiritual individual who works with origami (paperfolding art) serving as the connection between multiple mediums.

In 2004, Lisa graduated with a BFA from Endicott College in Beverly, MA.  There she took a full range of art classes from studio arts to education, graphic design, and art therapy.

At Endicott, Lisa studied under Professor Barbara Burgess-Maier and refined her drawing skills, becoming proficient at charcoal drawing.  Burgess-Maier said, “Draw what you love,” so the charcoal drawing featuring origami series was born.  Lisa became a poet under Professor Dan Sklar.  To Sklar’s advice “Write anything,” she did.  Lisa began crafting poetry on subjects important to her, including origami.  The interest in origami grew on her, and today all of Lisa’s art forms revolve around origami.

In May 2014 she attained an Advanced Marketing Certificate in NY.  This training helped Lisa strengthen her business skills, including developing and building her website, now OrigamiPlace.com.   The website features Lisa’s options for commissions, education, and showcased art, as well as all of her art gallery products and her online shop.

At Origami Place, Lisa makes, sells, teaches, and showcases origami arts embracing paper’s wonders.  Lisa strives to bring the excitement of origami to all, and for everyone to find ways to grow, achieve and enjoy origami goods and services.  Lisa encourages all to discover paperfolding with materials galore.

Lisa formed a Virtual Origami Museum for everyone in the community.  The museum is for the public, from origami novices to professionals, sharing the joy of paperfolding.  Together, we fold.

She created a forum for Jewish Hope to build unity with a positive energy through creative action.

Whether Lisa is creating, teaching, or entertaining using her origami art form with hope, she wants to meet your needs with her unique skillset.
