Come and enjoy doing various popular Chinese Hand Crafts together. April: Paper Folding (Origami) Pagoda; May: Knotting and Straw straw shrimp in a knotted ring; June: Paper Triangle Fish. We provide the necessary materials such as knotting nylon yarn, artistic straws, paper and stepwise procedural description with diagram. Do bring your favorite small scissors. Two sessions were planned to complete one subject to avoid feeling rushed. We will also have discussions on how to expand the artistic flavor of the subject we are making.
