Origami
is a term coined in Japan as Ori:folding and Gami (aka KAMI):
paper. It is a traditional craft made with exceptional fine
motor skills, imagination,
creativity and science.

Indeed, Origami is
an art
of folding with a single or multiple sheets of paper into 2 or 3
dimensional object, product or gift.

Folding may be done even without use of scissor or glue. Yet, the final
product can
be firm, functional, high quality and aesthetic.

The benefit of Origami
is being proven especially in the area of math, science, art, creativity
and logic thinking. Indeed, Japanese astrophysicist Koryo
Miura created folding style that allows each section to be flat when
folded and full space when open. It has been used for Space Flyer unit
satellite and influenced many developmnet of other materials to be
packed into a compact space and unflod in one continuous motion. It is
also a popular folding of a single large map into a tiny paper. It is
hence being called a Miura Map folding. An application of tessellation is made possible by Origami theory.

In
addition, this can be a mindfulness therapy when folding familiar
models. Folding papers will involve both our hands and mind
to be active. It is a craft that is fun, mindfulness and therapeutic for all ages. Indeed, paper folding
involves both left and right hands for precision and balance. It is
becoming a therapeutic and important hands on exercise for this digital
age.

Indeed,
this is one of the important craft for this modern age to allow people
disconnect from electronic devices. It is because Origami helps us
enjoy a moment of interconnection and strengthening through our both
hands and mind interaction.

Origami can be folded and connected with multiple models. They are great for team building and group bonding.

Program
Objectives
Origami
Art is a series of workshop and program for children, adult and
corporate events.The main objectives is to explore the creativity fun
of a single sheet or multiple sheets of 2D papers into 3D
objects
through the use of paper folding (also known as Origami) techniques.

To
learn
the paper folding for functional, decorative or fun application.To
develop
creative thinking and creative problem solving with program.To build
the interconnectivity between logic and creative mind development.

concurrently. At the same time, it can be used to
develop creative
thinking and innovative idea development.

These
development will be
achieved through our fun
and interactive learning environment. Through the use of hands and
mind, you can explore 3D models development. There are more than one
solution to build the same model.

It has been proven as an
effective channel to boost academic studies, problem solving, memory
empowerment and cognitive development. Working with others through paper folding is great for
bonding as well. Do them with friends, colleagues, family or making
friendship. There are many Origami models can be fun with moving parts, flying, jumping, spinning, etc.
Perfect Timeless Gift
Hands
made items from folding papers can be a great timeless, meaningful,
caring and thoughtful gifts. They have more value than material
gifts because they are fine craft works given by another person. A hand
folded gift is heart warming and touching. You can personalise it with

art of folding can go beyond paper and wisdom of human has made this
craft for useful items such as Ketupat rice dumplings pouch.

One of the amazing folding
is using leaves to fold and be able to cook, hold or serve food.
It can be used for filling rice and cook them. A great example
is using coconut leaves with weaving for rice dumplings.

It is organic, natural
and strong with just weaving and folding. We can also apply them with ribbons and it is a great timeless gift and iconic culture heritage.

Coconut leaves are also being used creatively to make subject like Grasshoppers.

Taking the concept of folk craft wisdom, we can design amazing items without any glue or staples

Methodologies
Our teaching
methodologies are proven to engage the art of science, math, creativity
and skills. Flexible teaching approach according to the levels and
