His grandmother is eighty-five years old. She’s in an old people’s home and wonders what on earth she is doing with stuck with all these old people. One day, Romain’s father turns up in a fluster.

Kirigami Papercutting Workshop
In the past, Vietnamese people often made wall and door decoration items from paper for special events, including Tet Holiday.
Nowadays it is easy to buy any decoration stickers at very reasonable prices and various designs to make your home more beautiful. Though, it is always more interesting and meaningful to make some by yourself, which are also truly unique with a personal and traditional touch.
In the scope of this workshop, they will be making New year decorations for multiple purposes (e.g doors, windows, walls, and table decoration), which combines different patterns (flowers, leaves, animals) using Kirigami – the art of paper cutting. Let your imagination shine since art has no limitation.
Time: Sunday February 24 from 1:45 to 4:30 pm
Venue: Chim Xanh – Bluebirds’Nest Book Cafe (a lovely book cafe with some cute cats), No 13, Alley 19, Dang Dung street, Ba Dinh district, Hanoi
