Puget Area Paperfolding Enthusiasts Roundtable or P.A.P.E.R. is returning to the Garden 11:00am - 2:00pm on October 10 for an early autumn origami workshop. Volunteer origami instructors will lead instruction on introductory origami techniques suitable for guests of all ages in the Tateuchi Community Room.

The roots of Ori (折り, folding) Gami (紙=kami, paper) originates in the 6th century in Japan. Use of paper was limited only to formal ceremonies and rituals and was not commonly available for recreational paper folding until the 17th century. Today, origami is enjoyed around the world and continues to evolve its art form

Please join us for Origami in the Garden and experience the joy of paper folding! Come learn a new hobby for the fall season!

Papers and instructions will be available for all visitors in the community room 11:00am – 2:00pm.


Admission is free for all youth 12 and under from 10:00am – 2:00pm for Family Saturday.
