Celebrate Your Love — or Simply Your Time Together — with Origami
No experience needed. Midori will guide you gently step by step, so you can relax, unwind, and enjoy the simple joy of folding paper together.
Each session is just for one couple, giving you a calm and intimate space to connect and create.
Why not turn a special moment into something you can keep?
In this workshop, you and your partner will create a framed origami flower artwork — a piece that will last far beyond the day, and a reminder of the time you shared.
This experience was originally designed for first wedding anniversaries — the paper anniversary, a beautiful symbol of new beginnings.
But over time, it has become a favourite for all kinds of couples. Whether you're celebrating a milestone or just want to do something a little different together, this workshop offers a relaxed and meaningful way to spend time side by side.
You’ll choose your favourite colours and papers, and all materials are provided — including a lovely shadow-box frame to take home.
Midori Furze is a Japanese-born, Sydney-based contemporary artist and experienced origami instructor. She has led workshops at the Art Gallery of NSW, the Australian Museum, the Powerhouse Museum, Hazelhurst Arts Centre, and the Japan Foundation Sydney.
Sessions are available on selected Saturdays (4:30–6:00 pm or 5:00–6:30 pm). Or feel free to send a message with any questions or to arrange a time.
You might like to plan dinner afterwards and turn it into a special date — something a little out of the ordinary.
This workshop also makes a thoughtful and unique gift, especially for a first wedding anniversary.

Recent reviews of Origami Class for a Wedding Anniversary Couple

  • 5/5 from Hisae Akiyoshi, attended Apr 2026: I joined this workshop with my wife. I wasn’t very confident with origami, so I felt a bit anxious at first. However, thanks to Midori’s kind and easy-to-follow guidance, I was able to create a beautiful piece. We made eight origami roses and two butterflies, and then arranged them in a frame. When it was finished, I was truly moved—it was so wonderful that I could hardly believe I had made it myself. Midori, the instructor, was patient and attentive, and I never felt uneasy at any point during the workshop. It’s a perfect experience for couples, especially for anniversaries or birthdays. I highly recommend it.

I was born and grew up in Japan. I came to Sydney in 1989 and have been living in Sydney's Northern Beaches since then.
I am a multi-disciplinary artist who creates canvas paintings, Suni-e, origami 3D objects and installations. I work with event management companies to create unique origami in Sydney.
When I was at the artist residency in 2010, one of the directors saw my origami in my studio. Until then I painted Western-style paintings on canvas which I had learnt at school. But he encouraged me to do more origami because it was unique about me as a Japanese artist based in Sydney.
I did many public participating origami projects and they were all well-received.
In 2022, I received the Foreign Minister's commendation Award by the Japanese Government for my contribution to the Australia-Japan culture exchange. I was also awarded by the Consulate-General of Japan, Sydney in 2016.
I have been teaching Origami at many places in Sydney for more than twelve years. e.g. the Art Gallery of NSW, Australian Museum, Powerhouse Museum, Japan Foundation, Hazelhurst Art Center. My origami workshops are very popular at festivals and events.
Teaching Origami is one of my passion. It is delightful to see big smiles on people's faces when they completed their origami for the first time.
A sheet of square paper turned into a bird still amazes me. Japanese people have been folding paper cranes for more than 400 years. We fold the same way as the people who lived 400 years ago.
Origami is an affordable, lightweight, clean activity. You can play anywhere. It is a great exercise for our hands as well as our brains.
In recent years, origami techniques are used in design, math and science. The airbags in the cars are folded. The solar panels in the spaceships are folded. The stents save people's lives.
I hope we will have more wonderful inventors in Australia in the near future who enjoyed folding origami when they were little.
Let's start folding!
