Crane Folding Origami Workshop

March 19 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Tickets are non-refundable. All ticket sales goes to the JCC. Drink up to support Konbini & Kanpai!

The crane is the most well known pattern in the Japanese art of origami, yet it is also one of the more challenging. This workshop is meant to teach you to fold the “perfect” origami crane, with “perfect” in quotations because as with all art, there is no such thing as perfection. During this hour and a half lesson, you will learn the foundations of origami and gain all the skills needed to strive toward mastering the art of folding a paper crane.

A variety of paper will be provided. Space is extremely limited at this event so register quickly!

Let’s get ready to fold!
