INTRODUCTION TO PAPERCUTTING


INTRODUCTION TO PAPERCUTTING
Friday 24th July
Tutor: Sophie Benest
10:00 - 16:00
Level: Beginner
A peaceful and relaxing workshop perfect for total beginners to explore the art of papercutting. An ideal day to switch-off and embrace the mindful art of papercutting.
A selection of templates will be available for you to choose from on the day and everyone should leave with a framed A4 piece. Templates include birthday cards, animals, typographic quotes, flowers and more, with many featuring customisable areas for you to personalise.
The day will start with demonstrations and warm up exercises to get your papercutting fingers ready, before moving on to your chosen pieces. The day will be broken up with tips on framing, drawing your own templates and how to add colour to the papercuts.
Sophie will have all the tools you need to borrow for the day and various papers to mount your finished pieces on.
There will also be a selection of supplies and templates for you to buy if you’ve caught the papercutting bug. Please bring cash if you think this might be of interest.
What to bring:
Everything you need will be supplied for the day, but do bring along a favoured scalpel (and spare blades) if you have one
Your glasses if you wear them
