Everyone has put a pair of scissors into a sheet of paper at some point, but in this workshop you will go one step further. After a short introduction, you will learn the basic techniques from experienced paper cutters. You will then apply these in a simple assignment yourself. At the end of the workshop, you will go home with one or two paper-cut artworks. Success guaranteed.

For centuries, thousands of people worldwide have enjoyed paper cutting. It is fun and relaxing, and both young and old create beautiful artworks with it. So many cutters, so many variations. This special craft has therefore been included in the Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Netherlands.

The workshop leaders are members of De Nederlandse Vereniging voor Papierkunst, the meeting place for hobby cutters and professional artists. They are specially trained to teach interested participants the tricks of the trade. Most of them regularly exhibit their work.
