HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Saturday will be a busy day for artists in Hutchinson, according to Jace Chambers with the Hutchinson Art Center.
"Each Saturday of April and May, we're going to be having an origami class in the mornings at 10 a.m.," said Jace Chambers with the museum. "That's continuing this Saturday, as well. That's going to be an opportunity for parents or guardians to attend with their kids and learn about this project together and take home some creation that they've made as a team. The teacher is just so emphatic about teaching people not only about the culture of origami and paper folding, but also the countries where those practices were born."
There's another learning experience for kids Saturday afternoon from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
"We also have a little experience with a book reading and live illustration demo for the children's book Millie's Garden and the Great Carrot Mystery," Chambers said. "This book was illustrated by a Kansas artist, Kathleen Kuchar and it was written by Joyce Frey, two wonderful, creative and enthusiastic ladies about kids education and being playful as you learn and you experiment with creativity."
Then there's a chance for adults to let out their inner shutterbug Saturday evening at 6:30 p.m.
"We'll all be meeting up with our Dirty Hands Book Club with the Crow & Co. bookstore," Chambers said. "We'll actually be meeting up at the bookstore. Our featured book this month has been a photography book, so we'll actually be going on a little photography walk, weather permitting."
The book is called Read This If You Want To Take Great Photographs by Henry Carroll and you don't have to have read the book to be part of the walk on Saturday.
