Celebrate Mother's Day with a unique and creative twist by joining us on Saturday, May 11th for a special Kirigami workshop! Kirigami, derived from the Japanese art of origami, adds an extra dimension to traditional paper folding by incorporating intricate cuts, resulting in stunning three-dimensional designs.
During this workshop, participants will delve into the world of Kirigami, using simple materials such as colored or patterned papers, scissors, glue, and pencils. Guided by experienced instructors, guests will learn how to fold, draw, and cut their way to crafting beautiful pop-up cards and collage works inspired by various plants and flowers.
This event offers a perfect opportunity to spend quality time with loved ones while expressing creativity and appreciation for mothers and mother figures. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or new to the art of paper folding, come and join us for a memorable experience that's sure to delight and inspire. Take home your unique creations as cherished gifts or keepsakes to honor the special women in your life this Mother's Day.
