Art & Sip: Painting an Origami Crane

Instructor: Leigh Putman
Origami began in Japan during the 6th century when Buddhist monks from China brought paper to Japan. The crane bird has become one of the most well-known origami folds. In this class, we will use a photo reference and graphite tracing paper to create a drawing of an origami crane on canvas and then paint it with acrylic paints.

Grab a drink and get creative with these classes for adults. Beer, wine, non-alcoholic beverages, and snacks will be available for purchase in the Atrium Bar. This season you’ll see a special focus on art projects inspired by our current exhibit Washi Transformed: New Expressions in Japanese Paper.

Register online or by calling 303-651-8374. Registration opens January 18.
