Origami Workshop: Wednesday, 27th September from 10am – 12pm

Step into the world of Japanese artistry with our Origami workshop, accessible to all ages.

• NOTE: In Japan, people fold 1,000 origami cranes to express their wishes and are sent to Hiroshima, where the atomic bomb was dropped 78 years ago, which has a Peace Memorial Park. There, ‘Senbazuru’ cranes sent from all over the world are displayed that are filled with wishes for world peace.

Sadly, wars still continue to ravage the earth, which is why we want to take this opportunity and fold ‘Senbazuru’ together in the hope of world peace. You can also join us on the following dates and times:
