Join us for an introduction to paper folding and learn how to make a variety of three-dimensional pieces with just a few simple folds.

Participants will explore several techniques, patterns and forms and be guided through the process of folding some hanging decorations and a geometric paper vase to take away at the end of the class.

Participants will also receive a complimentary bag of paper folding tools and will leave the workshop fully equipped with the skills, knowledge and inspiration to continue folding at home
