*children: workshop Eco[logical] Origami, 7-12 years old // Saturday May 30 – Child day, 11h-12.30
Origami is a unique Japanese technique, which turns a two-dimensional piece of paper into a three-dimensional form. In a sense, it is a “design of action” to imagine the future a few steps away from now. As you go through the procedure, some parts are laid on top of each other, some are folded, and some become hidden. Some parts turn invisible with time, as if they have never existed from the beginning.
