Tiling diagrams are a compressed representation of a whole category of origami tessellations, and I often refer back to these diagrams when I'm folding in a new tiling for the first time. This video will show two kinds of tiling diagrams that I use in my Tessellations by Tiles and Tessellation Academy programs to explain the symmetries, folding styles, and design possibilities present in these categories of origami tessellations. There are 21 tiling diagrams and 15 decision trees present in the Tessellation Academy Volume 1 ebook, which you can find at https://origamiusa.org and https://origami-shop.com in addition to https://gatheringfolds.com/products/tessellation-academy-volume-1-ebook Learning to fold origami tessellations with as many repeats as you want takes many of the same skills as designing these tessellations. Tessellation Academy teaches both of these skills and you can learn more about this membership here: https://training.gatheringfolds.com/academy Get the full collection of crease patterns for my hundreds of tessellation designs - including the one taught in this video - here: https://training.gatheringfolds.com/garden
