Origami and Haiku Workshop at Elfin Forest Interpretive Center

For hundreds of years, Japanese people have been coexistent and deeply connected with nature. This workshop aims to introduce two traditional Japanese cultures that emerged from such foundation — origami, an art of paper folding, and haiku, a Japanese-style poem — using the wildlife in Escondido Creek as our inspiration. $5 donations for our instructor are appreciated!
