ADORN YOUR TREE WITH ORIGAMI!

ADORN YOUR TREE WITH ORIGAMI!

A workshop by Sound of Paper @ Urban Solace

Sound of Paper is the brainchild of Pooja Ugrani, an architect and teacher from Bangalore. Conceived in 2014, it offers services in origami, be it customised decor embellishments, gift collectibles, paper jewellery, retailed in several boutique stores in Bangalore, or teaching the art to others and spreading knowledge about the same.

Pooja’s first memory of origami includes her grandfather, who would make paper frogs and boats and gift it to her as a child. This memory revisited her in her final year of architecture as she began exploring patterns and tessellations in space. From then on, there has been no looking back. Tinkering with bits of paper led her to one conclusion, that she should let the paper do all the talking.

Sound of Paper believes that origami need not be a solitary, tabletop activity, but can explore creating larger volumes of space through collective efforts with paper to give rise to engaging installations. SOP has conducted origami sessions and workshops for children as well as adults across cities.

In a world that fights screen time and is desperately searching for activities that can actively engage the mind, Pooja believes that origami as an art form works beautifully on our hand-eye coordination and calms us down. It betters our focus and gives us tactile and alive experiences that go a long way in shaping us as unique individuals.
