Japanese Craft Origami workshop

Class Description

Origami: The Art of Paper Folding

Origami, the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, began among the aristocracy during Japan’s Heian period (around AD 800) and later spread among the general population by the Edo period (AD 1600).

In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to transform a simple sheet of paper into elegant three-dimensional forms. As you fold, you’ll awaken the sensitivity of your hands and fingers while developing the skills to shape paper into meaningful designs.
