Papercutting is an ancient art dating back to the creation of paper during the 1st century in China. In this course, we will create papercut decorations for the fall considering the wide range of fall holiday traditions- including Halloween and Día de Los Muertos- that incorporate cut paper to play with shadow and light.

Create papercuts from three different traditions: Polish, Jewish, and Mexican, with GAP Member and Former GAP President Mindy Shapiro.

In this relaxing, creative, meditative and quite fun workshop by Mindy Shapiro, you will learn 4-6 basic Zentangle patterns. Each structured pattern will be broken down into small steps and what results are beautiful, creative and unique images; you will then transfer the design onto another piece
of paper and learn how to translate those tangles into a papercut design.
