It is VERY difficult to teach. If you were to pursue this idea there are a few things that you can do to improve the success of this idea.
1. Make sure you get some Origami paper instead of just plain white paper. The common weight paper works well but the Origami paper has a colored side and a lighter side - this gives people a good reference point when they are trying to follow directions.
2. Have very small groups of people - I'd suggest no more than 3 or 4 per helper/teacher for the Origami station.
3. Pick something very simple and have instruction sheets for some more complicated designs to challege the more able persons. Some people just cannot catch on to this art design while other's just take off with it.
Dunno if you'll do this but just had to give my 2 cents worth because I LOVE Origami.
