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.
