About Me
My name is Ginger Brakke Shaw, and I am the Origami Lady. I started my own business 20 years ago and still going strong. I fold around 200 different items featuring holidays, animals, themes, etc..
In addition to being The Origami Lady I am also an elementary school teacher. I have been teaching in the Murray School District for 30 years and can handle any size group. For the past 13 years I have done the Origami Tree for the "Festival of Trees".The largest task I have done was a float for the Children's Parade in Salt Lake City, Utah. We had 60 large seagulls with flapping wings and black crickets on strings hopping down the road with the help of children.
My Service
I will meet with you at your school, home, or business and teach any age how to fold paper. I provide all of the materials needed and you get to sit back and relax. I charge $85.00 in the SLC area, and slightly more for areas out of the valley. After school programs are eligible to get a discount. I teach classes individually or as a group.
Some types of events I am available for:
- Parties (Ex: Birthday Parties, Office Parties, etc)
- Family Reunions
- Origami at the City and County Libraries
- After School Programs
- Church events (Ex: Scouts)
- County fairs
- Fund Raisers
- Summer Schools
- Etc..
I also make Nativity Scenes, large flowers, leis for graduations, preference, and many other things.
