Such a pleasure to work with!!

We love working with Michael! We have partnered on a number of events over the years doing a mix of online virtual workshops and live, in-person events for our clients. Most recently we worked on some bespoke workshops and Michael nailed the brief. Its clear he put alot of work and preparation into making sure he tailored the delivery. The participants loved it! He's also just generally a lovely, enthusiastic person to work with...here's to hopefully many more events!

Great fun!

Michael was great and made it really easy to fold up some cute halloween-themed origami. Especially considering it was virtual (for a company social over Zoom) it was really fun.

London Event

We recently ran an event in London and Michael from Papershake joined us to run an Origami workshop. It was so much more than just a workshop, Michael created a personalised experience for our attendees, involving the theme of our event and ensuring each participant enjoyed the art of origami making, regardless of their experience and abilities. I cannot thank Michael enough for creating such a thoughtful response to our event theme for over 100 attendees. From the moment I contacted Michael, he was excellent to communicate with and I could immediately understand his passion for his craft, which resonated deeply with all of the workshop participants on the day. If you are considering exploring the beautiful art of origami, I cannot recommend Michael highly enough. Thank you!

Thank you so much Kas!

Such a lovely review, and of course, it was a real pleasure to work with you and the team too. It was fab to be in person too as most of my events are online now!

I'm glad my passion for Origami and creativity came over, and that everyone enjoyed it - let's do it again some time!!!

Thanks!

A great workshop! Highly recommend!

The Origami Workshop that my team and I took with Michael from Papershake Origami was SO much fun! Michael provided clear and detailed verbal and visual instructions and we were all able to make three different origami, each a bit more difficult than the last. It was really rewarding to make something that I can show off to family and friends and display on my desk. I would highly recommend attending one of these workshops.

Such a fun workshop!

We had a wonderful virtual small group workshop with Michael! It was fun and relaxing and I feel like I learned a lot. Michael is brilliant at origami and has so many interesting stories and insights, such a fascinating person to spend time with. Would definitely do it again!

Engaging and Great Fun

We LOVED doing this origami workshop. So much fun! We had a mixed age group and Michael’s instructions were really easy to follow for everyone, with lots of tips along the way. So much better than trying to learn from a book. Our completed pieces have pride of place on the coffee table and are an engaging talking point with visitors!

Thank you so much for this lovely review, Kath! It was great to have you both over to the studio and I'm really glad you enjoyed your time!

Great to hear that the pieces are in pride of place at home too - that's one of the best things about Origami (though not great for dusting!!)

Thanks again, Michael

Phenomenal Workshop!

Michael was phenomenal! His passion for origami was evident, and he had a knack for making the most intricate folds seem approachable for our beginner group. I also loved his two-way video stream, which allowed us to see his demonstrations close up without any technical hiccups. What a wonderful, balanced workshop for our small team!

Wonderful Origami Event!

Michael was very easy to follow along with and we learned a lot during our workshop! Over the course of an hour he walked us through 6 unique origami pieces. He has a fantastic set up for virtual events and it was wonderful seeing our team fold together across the globe. Thank you Michael for a fun, educational event!
