Yukako Shibata - WORKSHOPS

Origami Workshops with Yukka Origami

Origami is more than paper folding — it is a mindful, creative practice that brings calm focus and quiet satisfaction.

The process of folding supports concentration, memory, and problem-solving skills. It encourages patience, develops hand–eye coordination, and offers a gentle mental workout for all ages. From young children to older adults, origami provides a meaningful and enjoyable way to stay creatively engaged.

There is something quietly magical about transforming a simple sheet of paper into a three-dimensional form through a series of thoughtful folds.

Workshops

I regularly lead origami workshops in London and beyond, creating welcoming and relaxed spaces where participants can learn, focus, and enjoy making something beautiful by hand.

Workshops can be tailored for:

• Corporate team-building events
• Schools and educational settings
• Community centres
• Private parties and celebrations
• Members’ clubs and cultural events
• Seasonal and themed events

Each session is carefully designed to suit the audience, ability level, and occasion.

If you are planning an event and would like to include a creative, mindful activity, I would be delighted to hear from you.

Online Origami Workshops

I also offer live online origami workshops for individuals, small groups and organisations. These relaxed and engaging sessions introduce the beauty of Japanese paper folding while encouraging creativity, patience and mindful focus.

Workshops can be tailored for children, adults or mixed groups and are suitable for beginners. Participants are guided step-by-step through carefully selected origami projects using simple materials that can easily be prepared at home.

Online sessions work particularly well for creative team building, wellbeing activities, schools or private gatherings.

If you are interested in organising a virtual workshop, please feel free to get in touch.
