Join origami artist, author and illustrator Linda Stephen to explore origami and the possibilities of paper. This make-it-take-it program is designed for adults. In this hands-on class, we will work step by step to fold 2D and 3D origami flowers, starting with tulips and irises. Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding, a tradition of more than 1,000 years. Materials will be provided. Feel free to bring your own favorite papers.
