Class Description: Spend a relaxed afternoon, folding and dyeing papers into beautiful and surprising geometric designs. The first half of class will be spent learning techniques and making small sample papers. In the second half of class, larger papers will be provided and advanced folds experimented with. Two people will work together on a six-foot table (One + One) to share this easy and fun exploration of pattern and color.
Note: Even if you sign up just for yourself you will end up sharing a table with someone.
Materials: All materials provided. Just bring yourself and a friend to learn Oriszomegami! Students should wear an apron and grubby “art clothes” because dye travels. I’ll provide gloves.
