Origami Workplace Workshops with Origami Est
Book an engaging origami workshop for your team to help boost creativity, mindfulness and teamwork with Origami Est.
Are you looking for a fun, relaxing activity for your team, that will boost creativity, promote mindfulness, and is suitable for everyone (even if they don’t think they are creative)?
Origami Est’s Origami Workplace Workshops can help boost your team’s wellbeing with valuable time doing something practical away from the desks. Origami gives the perfect balance of quiet concentration as you master the folds, calming mindfulness as you repeat the folds to create your segments, and satisfaction as your origami piece comes to life. Folding origami together promotes team work: you’ll notice participants help each other to master any trickier parts. And of course, everyone takes home a piece of modern origami they have created themselves from a few pieces of paper – what could be more rewarding?
Hi, I’m Est, paper artist and teacher. Showing people how to fold their own origami creations & fall in love with paper folding is my passion.
I’ve been teaching origami to groups for 12 years. Over the last decade, I’ve created many new origami designs, taught hundreds of online and face to face origami workshops, and sold thousands of origami kits, to help people reap the benefits of folding origami at home. Alongside writing an origami book, Paper Home, I’ve also appeared on several TV shows, including Kirsty Allsopp's Handmade Christmas.
Folding origami is a mindful activity, which can help reduce stress, boost calmness and creativity, promote patience and persistence and, when done together, teamwork. Origami is a great brain exercise and makes the perfect break from work. As a beginner, you need to give it your full attention, switching your brain off from everything else, as you’re immersed in folding.
Origami Est Workplace Workshops are available face to face for groups of up to 30 people*, across the UK. I can come to your workplace or meet you a pre-booked venue as part of a company away day. For remote working teams I offer online origami workplace workshops. Workshops can last from 30 - 90 minutes or, if you'd like a more laid back approach then drop in workshops can be a great way for lots of staff to take part in quick 10-15 minute sessions.
You can make many of my origami designs at your workplace workshops: fairy lights, plant pots, flowers, diamond or star decorations are all ideal. Your team’s finished origami pieces make great gifts, so they can display them at home, or give to a loved one. I can theme your origami workshop to many events, for example Christmas, International Women’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Hannukah, Chinese New Year, Diwali, or Eid. Please get in touch if you have something specific in mind; I love a challenge.
To make my Origami Workplace Workshops easy for you, I provide everything you need, so all you need to do is book, and let me know the number of workshop attendees. I’ll pack up a set of origami kits for you and bring them with me to in person workshops or send them to you in time for online events. Prefer to source your own kits? I can give you a list of materials to make your own kits. The choice is yours.
