Mette Pederson has been folding, creating, and teaching origami since 1990. She is the author of eight origami books. Mette has taught at origami conventions worldwide, including Great Britain, Spain, Germany, Sweden, Italy, and USA. In 2001 she was the invited guest and Yoshino Issei Foundation award winner for the Origami Tanteidan convention in Tokyo, Japan.
