So excited to be part of Cultural Arts Day with @teachingartistsroc for Cattauragaus Allegany BOCES We taught over 150 students how to build Macaroni Marionettes inspired by the incredible puppetry of Czechia 🇨🇿 (Puppetry is huge in the Czech Republic- in the 19th century while plays were required to be preformed in German-puppeteers kept the Czech language alive through puppetry!)
Day one in London! (We made it- Phew we were delayed several hours in ROC, and thankfully our connection to Heathrow was also delayed 😮💨!!) So spent the day getting acclimated and resting. just finished up a tasty dinner and it’s straight to bed, we’ve got a long wild week ahead of us that we can only vaguebook about for now- but with all 150 pounds of balloons in our luggage accounted for, it’s going to be awesome!
About 1.5 years ago I took a class from @yoav.liberman on wooden automata. I was really excited about the mechanisms I made, but my carving was terrible. I decided I needed to learn to carve in order to make what I really wanted to make. Here’s the first of the concepts I did in class completely reimagined. More will be coming “soon” with more elaborate movements.
AIRIGAMI - CLOSED FRIDAY 1/30/26
We are joining several other Rochester, NY area businesses and closing our office on Friday (no meetings no balloon deliveries) in solidarity with our neighbors in Minnesota who are calling for a strike and refraining from commerce on 1/30.
We know there is strength in numbers, and that sustained economic boycotts and strikes require planning and numbers, but those numbers have to start somewhere. We are proud that our staff was 100% on board.
If you’d like to join in - reach out and we’ll connect you with some nice folks who are investing their time into building this effort in Rochester.
Incredible community build today with @airigami at the @corningmuseum - artists @larrycmoss and @kellycheatle blew up a miniature marvel by botanical and biological glass artists Leopold and Rudolph #Blaschka to massive scale with the help of visitors to the museum. The piece will be on display this week - go check it out!
@larrycmoss up early at @corningmuseum getting ready for a #bubblemural installation inspired by the #blaschka collection (some of @kellycheatle ‘s FAVORITE glass works: biological and botanical models!) Come build with us today til 5!

@larrycmoss Executive Director of @teachingartistsroc shares the magic of @airigami and what it means to be a Teaching Artist - using the arts as a means of educating community about concepts and ideas, literally breathing life into learning.
