Immigration Museum Origami Project

Immigration Museum Origami Project

Joy is in creasing

I facilitated the Origami project, “Origami Paper Trail” for the Immigration Museum Melbourne.

It was a wonderful opportunity for me to promote the immigration, origami and exhibition.

We immigrate from the sea and sky, so we make boats and butterflies. Once we are in Australia, we welcome the new people, so we make hearts!

I hope we will have a lot of hearts in the installation.

Thank you, Keina from SBS Japanese Radio for the nice interview!

It is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of the Campbelltown Art Project.

I designed an origami monument for Koshigaya Park in Campbelltown this year.

Koshigaya City in Japan and Campbelltown in Sydney are sister cities and the cities are celebrating their 40th anniversary.

My monument will be about 7 meters high. wow!

Here is the miniature model I created for the presentation.

Chatswood Origami Club

Origami for everyone

We simply get together and have fun with origami!

.

Both beginners and advanced workshops were full and many people were on the waiting list.

So I think all the people who came to our workshop last Sunday were lucky!
They could book the spot or they were on the waiting list but got contacted to join the workshop.

Happy workshop and lots of smiles.

Origami Hearts for Valentine’s Day

Celebrate the Valentine’s Day with Origami Hearts!

.

In 2024, this year I demonstrated the origami hearts at the very popular store, Cartier in Sydney.

There was a queue outside the store to get special gifts for their loved ones.
I was so happy to help celebrate the customers with my origami hearts.

Koto workshop at Japan Expo

Koto Workshop at Japan Expo

One of my other interests is playing music!

Koto is a Japanese traditional musical instrument. It is a regular music we enjoy listening to on New Year’s Day.

However, not many Japanese can play the Koto, some have never seen the real Koto before.

So I would like to make some opportunity for you!

I am going to run the Koto workshops at Japan Expo on Sat 18 November, 10.30-11am & 12-12.30pm

Max 3 participants per session.

Please email me to reserve your spot! Contact me!

How small can you fold?

Children are amazing!

I love visiting schools and school holiday care centres.
We always have fun and some kids are amazing.
For today’s workshop, I brought different-sized paper.

The smallest I brought was 3x3cm.
But some children kept challenging themselves smaller and smaller!

Such amazing talented kids and everyone has crowded around and cheered them.

Looking forward to seeing them again soon.

Free Christmas Origami Tutorial Video

Free Christmas Origami Tutorial Video

Fold Santa & a Christmas tree with me for this 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!
