Airigami online lessons

Over the last few months, we've had a lot of requests to do a large build. Of course, right now any large public gatherings are off the table while we all practice social distancing. We have a solution: An online, streaming build, combined with basic instruction that will introduce people to the creative side of balloons.

We've started to do these on Fridays at 2:00pm here in New York (UTC -4:00). None of these are really large builds since they have to fit in our living room, but we're doing what we can to make them interesting. In the first of these, we demonstrated the basics of making a balloon dress. In the second, we created a rainbow that ended up on our front lawn.

If you have balloons available, you can try stuff at home right along with us. If you don't have balloons, don't worry. We'll make the experience fun by showing examples of more elaborate sculptures. Come ready with questions and help guide the direction of this interactive, video classroom.

We're developing this series on the fly. Join us and help shape the way these lessons/shows are presented. The live stream, past episodes, and more info can be found at https://www.airigami.com/online-lessons. For now, we're going live Fridays at 2:00 pm EDT (UTC -4:00). Check the web site for up to date info. We're still trying to learn how to present in our living room, rather than the fully functional, spacious studio we normally work in. But, hey, it's a new challenge and you can see us solving problems as we would in any new setting we find ourselves in.
