Join master folder Itoko Kobayashi in an Origami Workshop at the Fort Lee Library. (supplies will be provided)
Itoko Kobayashi was born in the northern part of Japan’s main island. Her hometown is next to those, which suffered from Tsunami and the nuclear plant. She received her MTS from Drew University in Madison, NJ and is a PhD Candidate in European History of Sophia University (Tokyo, Japan). After giving birth to her child, Itoko started to create origami paper works which she learned from her grandfather as a child. Her particular style of origami is called triangle or block origami. She folds many rectangular sheets into triangular pieces then assembles them into one work. Some of her works are traditional, but, now she creates her own designs. Ms. Kobayashi displays and exhibits in libraries and galleries throughout NJ and NY.
Admission is free, children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult.
