Let’s get crafty: Origami workshop for families

/in /by

Our online Origami workshop for families took place on Sunday, 30th May and brought together many IJA members and people interested to learn Japanese origami folding and paper sculpture making skills.

Huge thanks to everyone who joined us! We all had a lot of fun and made some really pretty origami designs!

We would also like to thank our amazing presenter and origami teacher Akiko Kidokoro who was there every step of the way, shared her love for origami and taught us how to make various paper objects: a paper fish, rabbit and bag.
