Join us for an exhibition of the amazing possibilities of paper, featuring the work of world-renowned origami artist Joseph Wu. The public is invited to contribute to enormous paper works of art. This is an opportunity to collaborate with Joseph Wu and other origami experts as they create a massive interactive origami display, which will grow throughout the weeks as the public adds their contributions, with help from members of PALM (Paperfolders Around the Lower Mainland) and community volunteers. Whether you’re a complete beginner, or an origami expert, you are welcome to contribute your own artwork, made on-site, as you learn about origami, paper-making, and recycling. All ages are welcome.
