4/11 – Family Saturday: Origami in the Garden with P.A.P.E.R.

  • Seattle Japanese Garden 1075 Lake Washington Boulevard East Seattle, WA, 98112 (map)

For our April Family Saturday programming, we are pleased to welcome Seattle-based origami group, P.A.P.E.R., back to the Garden. 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!

Papers and instructions will be available for all visitors in the community room 11am – 1pm.


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

Family Saturdays are made possible in part by 4culture.
