Making Paper Cranes with Laura Minta Holland
Join artist-educator Laura Minta Holland and learn how to make your own origami crane.
This workshop is inspired by the Japanese practice of senbazuru , folding 1000 cranes in hopes of having one wish granted. Most often this is in relation to happiness, luck, recovery from illness or injury.
During this years 'Lockdown', Laura, inspired by this tradition, decided to create her own '1000 Cranes' project. This repetitive process allowed a space for calm, focus and mindfulness, which was very helpful during these unprecedented world events.
Materials needed:
- Any kind of paper, cut into a square
