Absolutely loved the experience. He came in to run a workshop between our senior team and us new graduates, and I found it was a great activity to break the ice but also have fun!

Online Origami Workshop

Michael led a 1 hour online workshop for my office and I have no regrets about booking him!
We were all very impressed with the workshop, and in particular with Michael's presenting abilities. He was engaging, enthusiastic, and professional throughout - it is clear he wants to share his love of origami with others.
The session ran well with about 30 employees, and we had partners and children who followed along too.
The technical set up he employs makes it very easy to follow what he's doing. We decided not to have any kits sent to us and indeed plain A4 paper is good enough for origami.
Strongly recommend if anyone wants to organise a virtual work social - doing something practical eliminates any "zoom fatigue", you can get children involved, and most importantly it's lots of fun!

Thanks Dan! Really appreciate these comments, and yes, Zoom Fatigue is a thing, so I'm glad I can help combat it in my little way :-) Michael

Best in Class

I work with an agency who has booked Michael on several occasions for a range of international clients.

His professionalism and engaging personality is unmatched which facilitates an impactful and enjoyable session for his audience.

I mainly book Michael without the use of kits however for the times that I have requested kits, their quality and presentation has been industry leading.

I would definitely recommend Michael and Papershake Origami and I am excited to book him again in 2022

I would highly recommend this workshop

I work at an event agency who works with Michael for virtual events with international clients around the world.

This is one of the best virtual events we have had. Michael's talent, relaxed setting and fantastic presenting skills provides an inclusive workshop for all our clients.

The kits Michael offers are stunning, but you can take part regardless of what kind of paper you have. Great for a last minute event too as you can use whatever paper you have in your home/office.

I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to upskill their paper skills or relax for an hour.

Excellent class, Michael is brilliant

I have worked with Michael on a number of occasions, booking him for many of my clients.

Michael is an absolute pleasure to work with, in the lead up to an event as well as producing a great experience for clients.

Michael's passion and love for what he does is so clear in his delivery. I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Michael and look forward to working with him again in 2022

Agency Booker- Incredible Workshop

I am an agency booker who works with Michael regularly on a broad variety of virtual engagements for clients based internationally.

This is hands-down the best virtual offering on the market- Michael's superb content, paired with a lovely presenting style and simple but effective visual mixing leads to a lovely, chilled, naturally engaging workshop.

I have booked this workshop 15 or 20 times, sometimes with (but mostly without) kits. The kits are gorgeous, but absolutely not needed to fully participate in the workshop. Michael always makes sure that the session is inclusive to all, and you can take part regardless of what kind of paper you have; printer paper, notebook paper, magazine tear-outs or anything your team have to hand will do the trick.

Full marks- looking forward to the next one!

My materiels did not arrive in time.

My materiels did not arrive in time for me to participate. It was told that it would be recorded for whenever we get our packet, but it doesn't seem like a group activity if I'm doing it alone watching a recording. Might as well find some Youtube videos.

Dear Ken,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review.

I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t receive your kit in time for our online workshop this week.
We always try to send the packs with plenty of time and for the most part things do work out, but with strained global logistics at the moment due to the pandemic, there are sometimes occasions when this doesn’t work out.

I’m sorry that you found yourself at the receiving end of this and that it negatively impacted your ability to enjoy the workshop.

The majority of my workshops are actually run without kits as I like that fact that people can use standard paper from around the house – even old magazines or letters etc. The kits are a really nice bonus, but I always teach people how to prepare other paper into squares to fold with.

I was aware of the delivery issues with this workshop, so was sure to demonstrate how to use such paper for those whose kits were delayed, and from what I saw on my side of the screen, most of the participants were able to get involved and make some beautiful models together even if their kits were delayed.

That said, I can understand your frustration and again offer my apologies for the delay and the impact on your experience.

Do let me know if you still don’t get the papers next week and I’ll happily drop another in the post to you.
Just send me an email to michael@papershake.com and we can sort it.


Thanks again for your review and I hope you have a restful holiday season.

Best,




Michael

Wonderful Origami Workshop

Papershake Origami recently ran a fantastic virtual Origami workshop at our organisation. Michael did a great job of conveying his enthusiasm for the craft and explained how Origami related to our theme in focus - mindfulness. Everyone that attended the workshop thoroughly enjoyed it.

Loved this class. Michael was warm and funny. Pacing was fine, and the steps were easy to follow. I've been able to repeat the items we made in class on my own now after the class. Overall, it was great and left me wanting to try more.
