Absolutely loved the experience. He came in to run a workshop between our senior team and us new graduates, and I found it was a great activity to break the ice but also have fun!

Team Workshop

Michael is an amazing instructor! We held a virtual workshop for our team of ~150 people. Michael was interactive, entertaining and patient with us. Setting up the event with Michael was extremely quick and easy as well! Not only is he great at Origami but he is truly passionate about it and it shows when he is teaching others. Thank you Michael!

Thank you so much for this lovely review, Leena! It was a real pleasure to work with you and your team for this event. I'm glad you found the whole process smooth and easy too - in a way teaching the Origami is just one of the many things I think about when organising these workshops so I'm glad it was a good experience for you!

Thanks again!

Highly recommended origami activity

Michael hosted a great session for our clients. We used an origami exercise as an ice breaker for our inspirational learning day with around 30 attendees. The clients LOVED learning how to create origami and all continued making examples throughout the rest of the session. Huge thanks to Michael who engaged the audience brilliantly and created a fun atmosphere to help set up the rest of our session.

Hi Ella,

Aw, thank you so much for such a lovely review - it was great to be on site for the Ice breaker, and great to hear that people were so inspired to keep folding through the day - that's just what I love to hear!

Thanks again!

Michael's class on Origami was a treat

Michael's class on Origami was a treat! For someone who had tried and failed to create origami figures from online videos, this was a different experience! Michael was very patient, walked us through the rough places where we tended to make mistakes, point out what NOT to do, etc., holding our attention and directing what we do until, voila! the paper turned into a delightful object. Highly recommended!

PS: This was a one hour online class organized at work as a team building/community exercise and we greatly enjoyed it

Thank you Esther, and sorry it's taken a while to acknowledge your very thoughtful review!

I'm really glad you picked up on the whole knowing-where-the-dangers-are thing! There are some super simple things that if you get wrong you wouldn't know at the time, but you find out later, so I try to protect people from them!!!

Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks again!

Wicked fun! 10/10 experience!

The experience was so much fun! Michael was super friendly and thoughtful on timing and explaining his passion while teaching everything thoroughly. He is a great teacher and his art is just incredible. It felt magical (and spooky! lol). Thank you!!

Papershake - online Origami excellence!

Michael was brilliant! His origami skills are amazing, he has a lovely manner, engaging and attentive. Especially for a large corporate event group - he involved us all. The effects of camera angles to help you follow how to copy his paper folding actions were pretty cool too.

Fun and engaging

We did an origami workshop as part of a company-wide offsite and everyone really enjoyed it. It was a great creative break and Michael was super organized and thorough while still keeping the skill level simple enough so that everyone could participate. He also designed a custom origami model of our logo that we could all do!

Thank you so much for such a lovely review - it was a great challenge to create your logo but I really enjoyed it, especially seeing everyone fold it so well (it was a bit advanced to be honest!)

Thanks again!

Origami Workshop through VC

This is the second time I have a workshop with Michael and again it was a great experience to share with my time working miles apart from each other. The way Michael leads makes it very easy for people to follow and engage, leading to a pleasant and relaxing experience.

We had a corporate event, basic origami. I found it enjoyable and it kept my attention the whole time. A nice way to de-stress for an hour. :)

Thank you SOO much for the review, really means a lot to me, and I love that you were able to destress for an hour - as well as sharing origami that's one of my key aims in the workshop! (infact, maybe that's the key goal even more than Origami lol!)

Take care,

Very fun, easy origami!

Attended as part of a work event, this was a well run and very enjoyable experience! Michael is very talented, and teaching looks like it comes easily to him. I have a feeling my desk will be covered in origami by the end of the week. Thanks so much!
