Name: Japanese Paper Arts: Chiri-e (Torn Paper Art)
Start: 2026-10-09T15:30:00.000Z

Location: Main Library – MakerLab

Japanese Paper Arts: Chiri-e (Torn Paper Art) is a hands-on workshop where parents and children learn to tear and glue washi paper to create pictures with soft edges. This free program takes place in the MakerLab at the Durham County Main Library on Friday, October 9, 2026, from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM. While registration is preferred, the class is open to everyone, and you do not need to bring scissors since the technique relies entirely on tearing. A Japan Outreach Initiative teacher will lead the class, sharing insights into Japanese school life and sports days. Parking is available in the library lot or at the North Queen Street Garage behind the apartments across the street. This workshop is a smart Friday morning pick because it offers a calm, creative outlet for you and your child to learn a traditional craft together without any cost. Since it is the second of two paper art sessions offered that morning, you can easily pair it with the first session for a full creative outing.
