On Saturday, August 30, the KidStudio will offer origami! The origins of origami can be traced as far back as ancient Japan. Origami was introduced to the boarders at the Holley boarding house by Japanese immigrant and artist Genjiro Yeto, who was a frequent and beloved guest. Yeto instructed the Holley family in many forms of Japanese art, including ikebana, sumi-e, and origami
