Join this origami workshop in Twickenham and discover the enchanting world of transparent origami — a Japanese paper folding technique that creates stunning stained-glass-effect decorations that glow when held up to the light.
Led by a native Japanese instructor, this session is designed to be accessible and joyful for children aged 5 and up, and adults who love to make things alongside them. No experience is needed — just curiosity and a love of making.
During this hands-on class, you will:
  • Fold beautiful transparent origami flowers using professional-grade Japanese paper, creating pieces that catch and play with light in the most magical way
  • Learn a traditional origami design using patterned Washi paper — a lovely, satisfying fold that children and adults both love
  • Discover the stories and traditions behind Japanese paper folding, brought to life by a native Japanese instructor
It's a low-pressure, creative space where children build focus and fine motor skills while adults rediscover the quiet joy of making something with their hands. The perfect Saturday afternoon activity — and everyone goes home with beautiful handmade pieces to display or gift.

My origami journey began in childhood in Japan, where I first discovered the quiet magic of transforming a simple square of paper into something alive. Today, that wonder has grown into a lifelong practice — and a deep belief that making things by hand is one of the most grounding things a person can do.
I am a native Japanese instructor based in Twickenham, and I specialise in transparent "stained glass" origami using Japanese Hikari Torigami paper — a technique that creates stunning light-catching decorations that seem to glow. I also teach traditional origami using beautiful Washi paper, and adapt every session to the people in the room — whether that's a group of curious five-year-olds, a team of busy professionals, or adults looking for a moment of calm.
Before becoming a full-time maker and educator, I spent over a decade in tech consulting at Google. That experience taught me how to break down complexity into clear, achievable steps — which turns out to be exactly what good teaching requires.
I run Origami Club from Twickenham, with regular sessions at local community venues, schools, and corporate offices. What I love most is the moment a student holds up their finished piece and realises what their own hands are capable of. That moment never gets old.
Let's fold something beautiful together.
