GET hands on with the ancient Japanese art of origami - paper folding - at a free family event in WGC today (Saturday).

As part of the Hertfordshire programme for this year's national Family Learning Festival, the fun activity session takes place at WGC Library in Campus West.

The aim of the day is for people to learn how to create paper sculptures in 20 folds or fewer.

County councillor Keith Emsall, executive member for community safety and culture, said: "Once again, Hertfordshire libraries are hosting a packed and varied programme of events in support of the national Family Learning Festival.

"As in previous years, we want to encourage people to come along and enjoy discovering new kinds of activities together as a family in a relaxed and informal environment."

The event runs from 10.30am until noon.
