Meeting Room B/CKirigami
Explore and enjoy a unique and creative twist of Japanese craft with Japanese artist Mami Takahashi from the Japanese Culture Center 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, students will delve into the world of Kirigami, using simple materials such as colored or patterned papers, scissors, glue, and pencils. Guided by Mami, students 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.
