Drop Ins for individual classes: $30

Explore the creative possibilities of paper folding, a meditative activity that requires focus and mindfulness. The gentle art of origami dates to the creation of paper more than 1,500 years ago. Its rich history is based in sacred ceremony and artistic reflection on nature. We can find harmony as we transform a simple sheet of paper in a process that cultivates precision and a sense of awe—part geometry and part Zen. After work with simple star models, students will make a Star of David and modular stars including an elegant star quilt. Some origami experience will be helpful. Age 13 to adult. Materials included in the registration fee.

Joan Son's interest in origami began as a teenager in the 1960's. In 1993 her professional career debuted in the windows of Tiffany & Co. She has created numerous large scale installations for public and private venues as well as small works for museum shops including the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. www.joanson.com.
