This group meets
normally on the fourth Sunday of each month from 2-4
pm at the Centre (unless there’s a special event
that day or a holiday- then the group shifts to the
3rd Sunday). You need to be a Centre
member ($15 single; $25 family) but anyone can join
in. The only extra cost is $5.00 for materials
(annual cost September to September).
Those
under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. We’re
always interested in new people and new designs.
Bring a friend, favorite model, new book or make a
request or suggestion. Those who play with string
figures – Cat’s Cradle (Ayatori) - as many Origami
creators do, bring a string and trade some figures!
