Michael hosted a great session for our clients. We used an origami exercise as an ice breaker for our inspirational learning day with around 30 attendees. The clients LOVED learning how to create origami and all continued making examples throughout the rest of the session. Huge thanks to Michael who engaged the audience brilliantly and created a fun atmosphere to help set up the rest of our session.

Michael's class on Origami was a treat! For someone who had tried and failed to create origami figures from online videos, this was a different experience! Michael was very patient, walked us through the rough places where we tended to make mistakes, point out what NOT to do, etc., holding our attention and directing what we do until, voila! the paper turned into a delightful object. Highly recommended! PS: This was a one hour online class organized at work as a team building/community exercise and we greatly enjoyed it

The experience was so much fun! Michael was super friendly and thoughtful on timing and explaining his passion while teaching everything thoroughly. He is a great teacher and his art is just incredible. It felt magical (and spooky! lol). Thank you!!

Michael was brilliant! His origami skills are amazing, he has a lovely manner, engaging and attentive. Especially for a large corporate event group - he involved us all. The effects of camera angles to help you follow how to copy his paper folding actions were pretty cool too.

We did an origami workshop as part of a company-wide offsite and everyone really enjoyed it. It was a great creative break and Michael was super organized and thorough while still keeping the skill level simple enough so that everyone could participate. He also designed a custom origami model of our logo that we could all do!

This is the second time I have a workshop with Michael and again it was a great experience to share with my time working miles apart from each other. The way Michael leads makes it very easy for people to follow and engage, leading to a pleasant and relaxing experience.

Amazing production quality for a virtual workshop, Michael was an excellent instructor who moved along at the perfect pace!

A really fun and relaxing workshop! Michael was so patient and encouraging :)

Michael was great! I was amazed at how many creations we were able to make in a single one-hour session.

Michael was so cheerful and energetic, we had such an amazing experience with him at our intern meeting.

We had a corporate event, basic origami. I found it enjoyable and it kept my attention the whole time. A nice way to de-stress for an hour. :)

First time doing Origami - easy to follow, fun environment, great way to break up the work day and try something new. Look forward to learning more about what creations I can make

Attended as part of a work event, this was a well run and very enjoyable experience! Michael is very talented, and teaching looks like it comes easily to him. I have a feeling my desk will be covered in origami by the end of the week. Thanks so much!

We had a 1 hour origami session with Michael today and it was a wonderful experience. He is very patient and has a wonderfully positive, fun and calming personality. Would definitely recommend to friends, family and colleagues.

Michael was great from start to end. Communicating and scheduling with Michael was pleasant. His facilitating was incredibly organized. My colleagues and I were so calm after our team workshop with him. His knowledge and love for his craft is obvious and truly inspiring!

Michael is great! Such an awesome facilitator and clearly extremely knowledgeable and passionate about origami. He provided such a fun and accessible activity to do with our team. Would recommend!

It was fun and the instructions were very clear. A great virtual team builder.

Michael did a workshop for our team at work. He was lovely, and did a great job breaking it down so anyone could make origami. It was fun and I learned a lot!

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!

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
