The Art of Calm: Create an Origami Bouquet of Lilies & Irises (18+)
Tuesday 19th August, 18.00 - 21.00 (£39)
In this relaxing three-hour workshop, you’ll learn how to fold beautiful lilies and irises from origami paper and create a delicate bouquet to take home. Origami is not only creative but also wonderfully mindful and satisfying — offering a calming, meditative focus as you transform paper into elegant three-dimensional flower forms. Suitable for all levels, you'll be guided step-by-step to create both flower types. They share a similar process, with small yet satisfying differences that result in two distinct blooms. We’ll add wire stems so your flowers stand tall! Once you’ve mastered the folds, you’ll be able to continue crafting more flowers at home to grow your bouquet. Come and enjoy a peaceful, creative evening — and make a lovely gift for yourself or someone special. The Conservatoire is delighted to be working for the first time with local artist Yukako Shibata. Yukako was born in Hokkaido, Japan, and has lived and worked in London since 1993. Yukako holds an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art. She has exhibited in numerous solo and group shows across the UK, Canada, Germany, and Japan. Her work is held in many public and private collections worldwide, including those of Doris Lockhart Saatchi, The Tim Sayer Collection (bequeathed to Hepworth, Wakefield), Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank, Braintree District Council, Poplar HARCA, and the Royal College of Art Collection.
