Discover the meditative joy of origami in Yugen's intimate art studio café.
What is Origami?
Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding. Using just a single sheet of paper and your hands, you create beautiful three-dimensional sculptures—no glue, no scissors, no prior experience needed. What starts as a flat square becomes a graceful crane, a delicate butterfly, a blooming water lily. It's a 500-year-old tradition in Japan, valued not just for the finished pieces, but for the meditative practice itself: the precise folds, the satisfaction of each crease, the quiet focus it brings. It's mindfulness in motion.
No experience needed—whether you're folding for the first time or returning to a childhood hobby, you'll create three stunning origami projects in just 90 minutes: a classic paper crane, a graceful butterfly, and a blooming water lily.
This workshop blends mindfulness with creativity. You'll learn precise folding techniques, troubleshoot gently with our instructor, and take your finished work home. The pace is relaxed, the space is calm, and our freshly brewed espresso and housemade pastries are steps away for your enjoyment.
Perfect for:
  • Solo art & craft lovers seeking a quiet, creative escape
  • Couples or friends wanting a shared creative experience
  • Anyone curious about Japanese aesthetics and craft
  • Those seeking mindfulness in a welcoming community

  • Warm welcome & introduction (10 min)

Miku Kikuchi


Hi, I’m Miku — born and raised in Aomori, in northern Japan, where origami was part of everyday life long before it became my passion.

A former national park nature guide, I’ve spent years helping people slow down and notice small, beautiful things. That’s exactly what my origami workshops are about: 90 relaxed minutes of folding, no experience required, with plenty of patient guidance along the way.
These days you’ll find me behind the espresso machine at Yugen — and now, at the workshop table too.
My sessions are gentle, beginner-friendly, and unhurried. I will guide you step by step. Just bring your curiosity, and let’s fold something beautiful together.

Eda Tevrizci is a professional Ebru artist living in Australia since 2016. She started to work on traditional Ebru art early in 2015 which stole her heart immediately and has been practising it since then.
This art form has been added to UNESCO's world cultural heritage list in 2014; she uses water surface as a canvas and then transfers the created patterns onto paper, fabric or other materials.
Using natural pigments, traditional materials and water surface as a canvas, she tries to find a balance and connection between the traditional and modern designs through her works but she is more after in creating contemporary, abstract forms rooted in the traditional art form.
After living and running workshops in Melbourne for five years, she now conducts ebru workshops and short-term courses in Adelaide for art lovers who are open to a unique experience — paint on water surface.
Apart from workshops, she also creates tangible ebru designed jewellery and fashion accessories, stationery and home decoration products all of which reflect her vision of life.
For Eda, Ebru is a lifelong learning journey and she is keen to share her expertise with people while trying to achieve more each and every day. She loves the freedom and endless possibilities that Ebru offers and always looks for new and creative ways to adapt it to the new forms of today’s world.
