In this workshop the scintillating origami duo of Yuri and Katrin Shumakov will lead you step-by-step on an amazing journey to create all of these practical items with no paste or glue and no scissors. These original designs are a drop in the bucket of their unique creativity which has brought them fame around the world for the origami kingdoms which they have designed and folded.

Workshop
Oribana: Paper Flower Arrangement

Flowers are a delightful part of our world; they inspire poets and artists with their natural beauty and charm. It’s a pleasure to depict flowers in paper. By combining the fascination of two remarkable arts - Origami and Ikebana, origami-artists, Katrin and Yuri Shumakov create their paper flower arrangements in paper vases and call it “ORIBANA". Today they will present one of their own Oribana-arrangements, teaching every detail - flowers, stalks, leaves, a vase and then uniting them into the entire composition. So, at the end of this workshop, everyone will have in their possession a wonderful Oribana arrangement, made by their own hands with a selection of Japanese papers. Some experience is origami will be helpful, but not essential. <<< Read Workshop's Report
