SYNOPSIS
A simple piece of paper can be folded, cut, drawn on and rolled up to spice up our stories. Paper is a prop that is versatile and readily available and easy to incorporate into your storytelling. Come explore the use of paper in your storytelling. This workshop is highly hands-on and participants can expect to learn some stories that will use paper in different ways such as origami, fold-and-cut, a scroll and much more. This workshop is for adults who enjoy working with paper and want to use these stories for children ages 5-8 years old.
