    How it works

    Join us for a serene and engaging virtual event, Origami 101: Paper Cranes & Animals, where we'll embark on a journey into the art of origami. Discover the ancient Japanese tradition of folding paper cranes—a symbol of hope, peace, and good fortune. Led by our expert hosts, you'll learn the intricate folds and techniques needed to create your own beautiful paper cranes from the comfort of your home.

    Immerse yourself in the meditative process of folding delicate paper, as you follow step-by-step instructions to transform a simple square into an elegant creation. Delve into the history and symbolism behind this beloved origami figure, and explore the cultural significance it holds. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced folder, this event welcomes all levels of skill and curiosity.

    By the end of the event, you'll not only have mastered the art of paper crane origami but also gained a deeper appreciation for its symbolism and the joy of creating something beautiful with your own hands. We may even teach your group how to make a few other animals!

    Your team will need to come prepared with a few sheets of paper - feel free to use scraps that would have been tossed out for an extra sustainable impact! 

    So gather your team and get ready to unwind, connect with your creative side, and experience the calming joy of origami as we fold our way to a flock of stunning paper cranes or other animals.
