Craftopia: Origami Kusudama Flower Ball class @ Craftopia
Tickets
Jun 25 @ 12:00 pm

Learn to make your very own origami Kusudama Flower ball. These beautiful balls look very complicated and impressive, but are actually quite easy to fold. Learners will be able to choose from a variety of sizes of paper and colors to make their flower ball completely unique. Buttons, gems or lights can also be added for a little more variety.
$20/project includes all supplies. There is a good chance you will not get the entire ball completed in the class time, so learners will be sent home with the necessary supplies to completed on their own. Recommended for ages 15+

Craftopia: Volunteer Packing Party @ Craftopia
Tickets
Jun 28 @ 5:00 pm

Join us once a month to help prepare and pack up craft kits.  These kits are donated free of charge to the Tacoma Public Library and Pierce County Library systems.  The libraries then distribute them to the community so people of all ages can learn new projects and explore their creative side.
Packing parties include prepping of supplies and stuffing ziplock bags with materials.  We stuff between 100-300 bags each time, so lots of repetitive motion.  Beverages and snacks are provided, but feel free to bring your own as well.
RSVP’s appreciated but not required.
