February 2016 ushers in the Year of the Monkey and 2017 is the Year of the Rooster. Participants will learn to fold these animals as well as several butterflies in this origami workshop appropriate for all skill levels. The group will work with a variety of papers and sizes and explore ways to make the models into hanging ornaments.
The gentle art of origami can be used as a meditative activity in a process that cultivates precision and a sense of awe – part geometry and part Zen.
All materials provided. Appropriate for ages 13 and older.
