Flying Paper Airplane Class
Pick a date on their booking page
A paper-folding session built around flight rather than decoration: you fold, test and adjust designs, then fly them. Midtown at 325 W 38th St, seventh floor. $99, book any day. It is the only paper-engineering workshop on this calendar that is not a bookbinding class.

From $99, booked for whichever day suits you rather than a fixed timetable; KraftStories is owned by this site's editor, which is disclosed on every page and does not buy it a better position here.
