Origami
Learn the art of creative paper folding in the Japanese tradition. All ages and skill levels are welcome, and materials are provided. No registration is required.
34th Street Partnership's origami classes are taught by Deb Pun, whose interest in origami began in the late 1980s when she bought her first origami box kit designed by Tomoko Fuse at Kinokuniya bookstore in New York City. In 1998, she taught her first origami class when she volunteered at her first Origami USA convention in New York City. She continues to volunteer by teaching origami at origami conventions. Currently, she enjoy folding single-sheet designs of stars and flowers.
Greeley Square Park Origami was previously taught for ten years by Gay Merrill Gross (1953–2025), author of eleven origami and paper-folding books. Through her books and workshops, Gay Merrill Gross loved to share her delight in clever, playful, and practical origami designs.
