Create Star Wars themed origami to keep! Registration is required.

Join us on May 4th at 6pm to celebrate being part of the Star Wars fandom! Origami paper will be provided, and you can leave with your own creations that encapsulate a galaxy far, far away. Instructions will be provided, but participants will mostly be working independently at a pace that is comfortable to them.

Young padawans and master jedis alike are welcome to attend, but because the art of paper folding requires dexterity and independent work, this program is recommended for ages 10+.

Registration is required. Families registering multiple people should register each participant separately.

If you have questions, please contact the La Plata Branch at 301-934-9001 or email laplataref@ccplonline.org.
