Event Description:
In honor of the holiday season, the Hailey Public Library is inviting the community to participate in a valley-wide project to fold 1,000 Origami cranes. The cranes will then be displayed at the Library for a month. Cranes are a symbol of peace and happiness in many Asian countries and folding origami cranes is said to bring good luck. Workshops are free and can be taken singly or together. Materials will be provided.
The facilitated, 2-hour workshops will be held at Town Center West in Hailey, from 5:30-7:30 PM on Thursday, December 7 and another from 2:00-4:00 PM on Saturday, December 9. Each workshop begins with a short loving kindness meditation followed by a lesson in folding Origami cranes.
Participants will then be invited to take their new skills and Origami paper home and fold more cranes with family and friends. Finished cranes will be gathered on December 18 at HPL and hung in the library on the Winter Solstice, December 21, where they will remain on display for a month.
