The Joy of Flight Exhibition

PPA group exhibition

Little Dream Collectors
Primrose Paper Arts held the opening of our current Mezzanine exhibition ‘Joy Flight’ on Saturday afternoon 12 March at Primrose Park.
It was a beautiful day, warm and sunny and was very well attended by the members, families and friends, who were excited to be invited to this event as so many art openings have been cancelled in the last few years.

Most attendees had never been to the site and were all very impressed by, not only the studio, but by the beautiful surrounding park. They loved the variety of work displayed in our exhibition and said how joyous, fun and uplifting it was.

We felt the opening was a perfect opportunity of engaging with our local community to give more awareness of the fantastic facilities available at the studio.

The exhibition will be on display in our Mezzanine space until the end of March so come on down and have a look.  The studio is open to our Paper Arts group on Mondays and Thursdays after 10 am.

Paper Crane Installation at Sydney Town Hall

Art Installation at Sydney Town Hall

Tea room & origami installation

Art installation at the beautiful Sydney Town Hall.
It was a part of Japanaroo+ Festive Season Concert installation.

It was a big sweaty day and fight against a clock, I was at the Town Hall from 8 am till 11 pm at night!
However, I really enjoyed being a part of the team and the venue was amazing.  The concert with many talents was amazing.

Origami Christmas

My origami tutorial video for Lane Cove Council.
I made the first video for Lane Cove Council in May for Mother’s day and due to the popular demand, I’m back again!
I’m very happy to do another video.

Santa is very easy.
You need to use scissors to make a tree, so it may be tricky for some children.
The video is for everyone!

Origami Koinobori Project & Tutorial Video on YouTube

Origami Koinobori (Koi Fish Streamer) Project

Origami Koi Fish Kite

I’d like to show you my Koinobori. I have run this origami project and made the Koinobori at schools and community groups. I hope you will like it as much as I do.
People in Japan hoist their Koinobori to celebrate Children’s day. The Koinobori in the video are different from the traditional Koinobori. They are made with many origami samurai hats (Kabuto).
Additional information: The Koi fish head is attached to a wire coat hanger. Recommend to laminate the head.
Happy folding~!

Group Exhibition “Rusted On”

Online Group Exhibition is on NOW!

Rusted on gallery 5
Group Exhibition, “RUSTED ON” looks really nice! it is a showcase of Primrose Paper Arts Inc. members’ new work. The online exhibition is on now and my work is included in Gallery 5.
“Wabi-Sabi Polyhedron Lampshade”: Rust can be translated into the Japanese word ‘Sabi’. The same pronunciation Sabi, from Wabi-Sabi, means Japan’s unique concept of beauty. Nothing lasts forever. I created a lampshade with the pages from an old torn book written by Charles Dickens.
The exhibition was created by Claire Brach.
