Layers of Color: Papercut Pictures
Tuition: $165 | Materials: $15
The technique of papercutting has been used to create decorative art for hundreds of years, with distinct methods and styles practiced as regional traditions. More info...
We’re pleased to host artist and designer Annelie Thurin, for a one-day papercutting workshop focused on color and form. Annelie’s papercutting work draws inspiration from her native Sweden and the province of Dalarna’s rich folk-art traditions. Her imaginative designs made from intricate hand-cut paper, embody the spirit of Kurbits painting – a traditional Swedish folk art style characterized by stylized floral motifs and decorative patterns – and the floral embroidery found on traditional folk costumes.
Annelie shares with us her approach to papercutting, a technique that prioritizes creating forms with layers of solid and patterned paper. While simple and direct in her approach, Annelie will challenge students to see this ‘picture-making’ as a way to practice composition and design. Students will leave with one or more 5”x7” greeting card pieces, and one larger hand-cut piece (8”x10” or 11”x14”).
