Pop-Up Workshop – Origami with Jun & friends

Friday, April 24th, 3 pm

Transforming paper into creative Origami designs can be mesmerizing with endless possibilities.  We held our first fold-in with Jun and learned a few new designs to bring color and delight to our days sheltering in. We joined “Hearts for the World”, an origami campaign initiated by Linda Mihara at Paper Tree in SF, to fold a 1,000 hearts to thank everyone working to keep us save during the COVID-19 crisis.

At J-Sei, providing food for seniors, we thank our chef Yuji, nutrition staff Tara and Katleen, and all the kitchen volunteers & drivers.  e thank the farmers, farm workers, grocery clerks, and all who help feed us.

The first fold-in included a bit of magic illumination with Occhi Di Gatto (Eyes of the Cat) by Francesco Miglionico, an Italian origami designer. See Carolyn’s tan cat in the second row and Kiyoshi’s cat in the top row. Jun Hamamoto has been teaching “San Quentin Origami” for over 15 years as a way to provide focus, grounding and community one fold at a time.  More Origami workshops upcoming.
