Origami With Jess - Roses for Macmillan!

Come and join me for an extra special paper-folding workshop in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support in the beautiful Flight Room at Abbot House! Learn how to create these stunning origami roses from fabulous papers, discovering how to fold individual origami modules that connect together to form the flower and how to complete the fold with a stem. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced folder, this event is perfect for all abilities and includes refreshments (a few favourite homemade bakes from our Macmillan Coffee Morning), a take-home folder and instructions. Please feel free to bring your own hot drink to help fuel your creativity! Priced at just £14 (plus Eventbrite fee) to celebrate our 14th year of fundraising for this amazing charity. N.B. The Flight Room is a Grade A listed room within the historic Abbot House. It is situated on the 1st floor via stair access only and may be unsuitable for those with mobility issues. “Why roses for Macmillan?", you ask. This is my why. My late Gran-in-law, Mary, was famous for her beautiful roses; ‘Mind my roses!’ she’d call whenever her grandkids kicked a football too close to them. And then there was my lovely neighbour, Anne. She’s the one who first asked me to fold an origami rose as a gift for a friend performing in a theatre production, and the reason I learnt how to create them. That little request is what sparked my love for making these flowers. Sadly, both Mary and Anne were taken by cancer. So this workshop feels like the perfect way to honour them by teaching others to fold one of their favourites, while raising funds for a charity that supported them both.
