Play with Us: Unfold your Story
Learn to design, play, and tell your story of home through the use of large origami fortune tellers or cootie catchers. Drawn from their magnificent giant cootie catchers that unfurl stories of the San Francisco’s Potrero neighborhood, Connell and Melera will demonstrate how to design these unique large-scale paper structures to unfold complex stories of place and home. So, bring your stories, pictures and images of your place, your home, and be ready to play together at the end of the workshop. Other materials and basic tools will be provided.
