Description

As a part of Store Store Easter Break program we present Young Geometrist Workshop, a fun origami workshop for kids from 8-15 years old.

“The Geometrist” is a paper DIY kit to make models of polyhedra in paper, designed by Tomoko Azumi and TNA Design Studio. The first series consists of templates for the Platonic Solids, 5 regular polyhedra known from ancient times.

This workshop will guide you in how to make and decorate paper geometrical structures as Easter decorations, utilising “The Geometrist” method. Using only a pencil, a pair of scissors and paper glue, a simple craft process will enable you to complete beautiful polyhedra shapes.  

The completed polyhedra are in a scale which sits comfortably on the palm of your hand.  Hang them on a wall or suspend them on a thread to make an inspiring interior ornament. Decorate them with felt pen, coloured pencils or colourful masking tapes and write your message on them to present a unique three-dimensional greeting card.

The Geometrist kit is co-produced by Tomoko Azumi and Takeo, Japan.
