1:00 pm

IWA Office, 17 N. State St., Suite 1760

Learn to fold a crane through the art of Japanese origami while sipping a variety of teas. According to a Japanese legend, cranes live for 1,000 years. Folding 1,000 cranes (senbazuru) grants one wish, most commonly health-related or a symbol of peace.

IWA will join other organizations in creating a 1,000 cranes mobile by participating in the Cranes for Peace Project, established by Japanese Culture Center and Osaka Chicago Sister Cities Committee, to promote peace in Chicago and beyond. The IWA origami workshop will serve as an opportunity for members to learn about the project and to be a part of this meaningful initiative.

Registration Maximum: 23 IWA members and prospective members. Limit 1 prospective guest per member.
