Papercutters Hall of Fame

(click on the names below for more about each!)

This page is dedicated to all those, within and without the Guild of American Papercutters, around the world, who have advanced the art and craft of papercutting over the years. This “Hall of Fame” owes its existence to the labor of love that has been carried out for so long by David Dorfmüller, himself a longtime Guild member and wonderful papercut artist, who created and maintains a sister page to this, papercutters.info. We hope eventually to meld the two pages. See also the ongoing wonderful compilation of papercutting artists by Elsa Mora Horberg, the artistic director and curator of ArtYard, on her site All About Papercutting. For silhouettes by UK artists, see the impressive work of the Profiles of the Past initiative, which is focused on British portrait silhouette history. Please send tips, suggestions for inclusion, photos or images of artwork that may be shown here, or even whole biographies or articles for possible inclusion! Email us: GAP@papercutters.org
