Cut it Through! (Everett, WA)

Paper cutting, from historical roots to the contemporary art scene, demonstrates its multi-facets. Simple techniques: cutting, stenciling, modeling_ permit to create large installations and intimate works. During this intensive class of serious fun, participants will discover the incredible variety of applications of this art form from fine arts to public art commissions. During the class, we will conceive and produce works as different as unique story-telling images with techniques on how to produce them in stenciled editions, pop-ups, dimensional work, wearable sculptures or short stop-motion animation. Cutting different papers and experimenting with scale, we will keep an open mind to adapt them to other materials and explore new territories. Tips, tricks and resources will be provided. No experience necessary.
