It is springtime in Houston, and everything is blooming! Join HCCC staff and volunteers for some paper-folding fun as we make beautiful origami flowers. Origami is the ancient Japanese art of folding paper to create three-dimensional works of art. Learn proper folding techniques to transform colorful papers into a bouquet of everlasting blossoms. While you are here, stroll through our galleries, and check out our new summer exhibitions. Don’t forget to stop by our Craft Garden, where you can see samples of natural-dye plants in full bloom.

Please Note: The activity will take place indoors and is on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last. No supplies will be handed out after 2:50 PM.

HANDS-ON HOUSTON is a free drop-in event held the first Saturday of every month. Each month, a teaching artist demonstrates a craft related to the current exhibitions. Families and children of all ages are welcome to come any time between 11 AM and 3 PM and participate in a 15-20 minute activity. Materials are provided. This program supports HCCC’s mission to advance education about the process, product and history of craft. More information at https://crafthouston.org/learn/education-overview/.
