May Day Modular Boxes |
11 AM to 3 PM, Saturday, May 1st | ||
| Come see that origami doesn't have to be about making pieces from single sheets of paper; it can be made from multiple parts that all fit together dynamically in a fun mix of pleats, crisp folds and an explosion of color. Come get your feet wet in this different slant on folding, and, with any luck, take some beautiful pieces home too. | |||
| Appropriate for: Adults and experienced children | Cost: $25, with a $5 materials fee. | ||

| Western Paper Meets Eastern Folding | Coming Soon | ||
|
Sign on for this two-day class, held two consecutive Saturdays, and get some of the best that Milkweed Studio has to offer. Come to session one to learn the basics of sheet formation and make paper from cotton and abaca, providing for an array of contrasting colors. A particular emphasis will be placed on forming double sided sheets of paper, with one type of fibre on each. Then, come back a week later for session two to fold that same, custom paper into a variety of models traditional to origami. The pieces themselves will be kept quite basic, with a particular stress put on purity of fold and form. The result of the efforts will be pieces that are true works of beauty that students will be able to call completely their own. |
