We booked Kat for an Origami team-building event. Kat was energetic and kept the team engaged. Amazing for all skill levels. Highly recommended!
This rating is based on just a single 30 minute lesson. We may try to make it longer for our next two lessons. Our grandson, 9, really enjoyed it.
Our son received origami lessons with Catherine for his 7th birthday. She is very patient and our son was able to follow her instructions step-by-step. He was very proud of the creations he made wit
Awesome first class!
