Origami Packaging: Sustainable Solutions for Unique Products

In this intergenerational workshop, we will explore the basics of origami with Nataša Brunec (Ars Origami) and fold gift boxes and cases from one or more sheets of paper. We will make packaging for festive gifts, creative projects or everyday use.

We will learn how to choose paper according to its weight and texture, and how to adapt the dimensions to a gift or object. High-quality paper in a range of colours and patterns will be provided. Through origami, we will explore making sustainable packaging without waste.

The workshop is for anyone who enjoys making things by hand or wants to create their own paper gift packaging. Children over 8 accompanied by a parent or guardian, as well as young people and adults over 14, are welcome. No previous experience is required.

You will take your handmade boxes and cases home, along with the skills to keep creating.
