“Join us for an Origami Class, joined by the lounge kitties of course! Our instructor Daniel said this about the craft: “I’ve been doing origami since I was little and it’s always been a comfort craft for me. I’ve done a popup at my town’s Pride event selling some chains I’ve made and I think it is a very under appreciated craft. It requires decent fine motor skills, but people of any age can still do it. It has helped me greatly with building patience and attention to detail.”
