Have you ever wondered how and why the impressionist painted the way they did? Would you like to learn to paint like an impressionist yourself? Around the turn of the 20th century, there were dramatic changes in the art world.

In Japan, New Year’s Day is the most important holiday of the year—a time to welcome fresh beginnings and hope for good fortune. Although Japan follows the Gregorian calendar, the New Year is also seen as the symbolic start of spring, filled with beauty and renewal. In this class, we’ll celebrate the season by creating elegant origami decorations inspired by Japanese traditions: a cherry-blossom like flower symbolizing Japanese beauty, and the iconic paper crane—folded especially for this joyful occasion.

Celebrate the season with a relaxing and creative origami workshop! In this 1.5-hour class, you’ll learn simple folding techniques to create beautiful paper ornaments. These festive designs can be used to decorate a tree, hang in a window, or give as thoughtful handmade gifts.

Kids (1st grade & up) are invited to join this fun holiday workshop and create their very own origami door wreath! In this 1 hour class, children will learn simple folding techniques, assemble and decorate a festive wreath to take home and display for the season.
