Participants will have a wide assortment of completed animals, buildings, and shapes by the end of the class. Each shape builds on the piece before it, as learners gain confidence through repetitive base steps.Class Experience
This class is designed specifically for newcomers to the art of paper folding. For those who are not sure if they are ready for the commitment of a weekly origami club ( also offered !) or those simply looking to try something new, this one time course is a purely instructional and interactive approach to this often daunting skill. We will focus on the basics. Through live demonstration from a variety of angles, teacher- guided patterns will be unveiled slowly and methodically. Folds and shapes are introduced in a patient and progressive manner, as learners are encouraged to voice their experiences and discoveries along the way. As we hone in on our fine motor skills, mishaps and confusion will be celebrated alongside the victory of completing a small object that once seemed impossible. This class builds confidence alongside origami expertise and ends in an interactive game that students can later share with other friends and family members. Leaners are encouraged to explain and “teach“ the group their tips and tricks to mastering skills that once seemed difficult. This class was created after some delightful guests joined the last few weeks of some of our origami clubs. I realized that a one stop option was also something friends were interested in, and there is an added element of difficulty coming in to a space where others are on the more intermediate end of the spectrum. I’m hoping that this additional option ignites a curiosity and confidence in Origami techniques for all levels of learner, and demonstrates that it truly is achievable through zoom! Multiple sheets of origami paper are recommended as a best practice for this course. Computer printer paper with a nearby pair of scissors can be used as a substitute.
Learning Goals
Students will learn the fundamentals of Paper folding through delightful animals, buildings, and geometric shapes. These skills will be presented in a fun, relaxed, and achievable way allowing learners to enjoy the process as the enhance fine motor skills and make paper come to life. 3 dimensional figures will be emphasized as students are gently guided using geometric reasoning, balance, and creativity.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Learners needing assistance using scissors (needed to trim printer paper if origami paper is unavailable) should have an adult participating for the beginning 10 minutes of the class. Please feel free to contact me beforehand with any questions regarding supplies !
Supply List
Multiple sheets of origami paper are strongly recommended for this class. Otherwise printer paper and scissors will be sufficient. Coloring and drawing utensils are optional.

Hello, Art enthusiasts! I am a multi-disciplinary artist working in New York City. As a teaching artist, I have been working in Public school in-school residency programs for the past nineteen years(!)...most recently with a concentration in Visual Arts. Many of these partnerships involved very direct coordination with students’ academic teachers, so that the Art projects enriched comprehension. I prioritize recyclable materials, and their environmental importance. I have extensions experience with literacy, and STEM-based residencies, in particular.
Over the past few years I have worked with every age, from early childhood to high school. I have seen first hand, how the affects of arts education through residency partnerships transform and enhance students’ lives. I am often very inspired by the creativity and commitment young students bring to these projects. In addition to Visual Art, I teach music composition, ‘Cello, and Guitar.
I am an alumna of the Juilliard School and the Teaching Artist Project. My supporting teacher experience at the Rudolph Steiner School in Manhattan combines Waldorf ideology with these other skills. I am on the NYC DOE substitute teacher roster. This mixture of public and private practice has prepared me to serve students from a wide range of backgrounds.
I try to incorporate physical balance into art making, often a skill that is considered “inactive”. Over the past two years my mindful Art workshops have been requested by public schools and administrative teams across NYC. I have worked extensively with groups and individuals on the spectrum, and as a Visual Art Consultant for students dealing with trauma.
I am a 2020 Legacy Arts Project recipient, and recently received the New York City Arts in Education Roundtable Teaching Artist Grant.
