In this engaging workshop, you'll discover the gentle art of origami as you learn to craft elegant flowers and hearts using traditional paper-folding techniques. Perfect for complete beginners, this two-hour activity offers a peaceful introduction to this timeless Japanese craft under the expert guidance of Vanessa, an experienced member of the British Origami Society.
Working with a carefully curated selection of beautiful origami papers, you'll follow clear, step-by-step demonstrations that make each creation achievable and enjoyable. This hands-on approach ensures you'll grasp the fundamental techniques while developing your own style. As you fold alongside fellow creative enthusiasts, you'll experience the mindful and meditative qualities that have made origami a beloved practice for centuries.
Drawing from her extensive teaching experience—from the Royal Albert Hall to Royal Caribbean cruise ships—Vanessa brings a warm and encouraging approach to the workshop. Her work with community groups and healthcare institutions, including Moorfields Eye Hospital, has demonstrated how origami helps people reconnect with their innate creative abilities in an accessible way.
By the end of this inspiring session, you'll have created your own collection of stunning origami pieces to take home, along with the skills and confidence to continue exploring this beautiful art form. As Vanessa says, you'll leave feeling proud of your creations and, most importantly, having experienced the joy of bringing paper to life through the art of folding.

About Me
I have been an artist nearly all my life. I can not quench my thirst for art making, and as a result went on to study it for 10 years at the University of Chester whilst also teaching art full time. It was a pleasure and a privilege to be invited back to the University of Chester as a visiting lecturer on the PGCE Art programme. I find this part time role very rewarding and combine it with my own art workshops, classes and commissions.
I am a mum to a gorgeous little girl and have a wonderful husband, who appreciates my love of art and more than anything puts up with the mess! We live in Cheshire with our two rescue cats, Lyra and Lynx. I love running, I find it a wonderful de-stressor, and being in nature is always a good source of inspiration for my art.
I have had the pleasure of travelling widely, including backpacking around Australia in my early twenties. Life has certainly thrown me some trials and tribulations but the running thread throughout it all, the one constant, has been my art and my family, which I couldn’t live without!
