Program Description
Event Details
Revisit a classic paper craft with a creative twist. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to fold an origami fortune teller and transform it into an interactive poem. Through guided prompts and simple poetry techniques, we’ll craft short verses that reveal playful “futures,” reflections, or surprises. No prior origami or poetry experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to create. This program will be lead by Tanya Sangpun Thamkruphat.
