I had the opportunity to attend an origami workshop a few weeks ago. I have never been to anything like that but of course grasped at the chance to be introduced to foreign culture. Although I like craft, I am not creative, so going to a workshop, I was guided and it was easy to understand the basics of origami. The workshop lasted about 1.5 hours only, though when you think of it, it's not that long because there were about 50 people and the instructors, 3 Japanese who came all the way from Japan to spread Japanese culture, had to wait until everyone is done with each step before proceeding to the next. All in all, we only managed to complete five figurines.
Besides learning about origami paper craft, I enjoyed looking at the origami works that were on display. I was so impressed by the creativity of the designers. Can you imagine, using just folded coloured paper, they could come up with so many different figurines? I may look like something simple but I bet it takes years for someone to master the art of origami, if it could be mastered at all. It looks like an art that ever revolves.
