Folding, shaping and transforming – this class offers an age-appropriate introduction to the Japanese art of origami as we magically turn paper into creative works of art. The young artists will learn classic and modern origami techniques – starting with simple folds and building up to more detailed creations – using a variety of papers like patterned sheets, metallic foils and textured craft papers. We’ll also explore complementary paper-craft skills such as cutting, layering and constructing mixed-media pieces. With a blend of step-by-step instruction and ample opportunity to be inventive, this studio encourages problem-solving and artistic expression to discover what a single sheet of paper can become.
