Vicky Mihara Avery
Vicky Mihara Avery is the third-generation in her family to promote and share the experience of Japanese paper crafts. Vicky has been an invited lecturer and instructor at museums, festivals, and origami conferences across the country, and has made guest appearances on the Martha Stewart Show and the Carol Duvall Show.

Vicky's DVDs, Origami Fun for Kids and Origami Fun for Kids, Too! are currently being sold at the Museum Store.

Kidding Around The Kitchen
Kidding Around the Kitchen (KATK) brings a "hands on" cooking experience and lesson in which the kids actively participate in the preparation of recipes. The result of their cutting, measuring, cooking, and then eating their creations is more than simply a lesson in health. They get to see, touch, smell, and taste the fruits, vegetables, nuts, cheeses, eggs, meats, and other ingredients that they may never have previously seen in their raw form.
