Origami Crane Workshop
2025 is marks the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki now observed throughout the globe on August 6th and 9th as a day of peace and remembrance. We will be holding a crane making workshop here at the Fuller Lodge Art Center to hold a space for peace in our community of Los Alamos. The act of making paper cranes, especially in chains of 1,000 (senbazuru), has been used for wish making and prayers for good health. The origami crane has now also become a symbol of peace, in remembrance of Sadako Sasaki, who folded over 1,000 cranes before her passing at the age of 12 due to Leukemia as a result of the Hiroshima bombing. Hiroshima today is home to the Children's Peace Monument with a sculpture of Sadaki Sasaki surrounded by donated cranes from around the world.
Although we may not have time to make 1,000 cranes in one workshop, feel free to make as many or as few as you wish, either as stand alone chains or as an intricate display piece.
Origami paper, beads, and fishing line will be provided, but feel free to bring a wooden stick or other items if you would like to have something for your cranes to hang on to.
