Join local artist Natalia Podpora for a four hour winter folklore-inspired paper-cutting workshop at Modern art Oxford!

Learn about the art of paper-cutting in this relaxed, beginner-friendly workshop, drawing inspiration from winter folklore, traditional seasonal stories and the imagery of midwinter.

You'll be guided through the fundamentals of paper-cutting, from learning how to safely use cutting tools to exploring different papers and simple cutting techniques. Using a selection of original templates designed for the workshop, you'll create your own intricate paper-cut artwork inspired by winter folklore, woodland creatures, traditional symbols of the winter season.

Throughout the session, you'll have the chance to explore examples of contemporary paper-cutting, including Natalia's work, alongside a selection of visual references to inspire your design. You'll learn how to trace and transfer your chosen design before bringing it to life using a range of techniques demonstrated during the workshop.

Once your papercut is complete, you'll be guided through the process of mounting and framing your artwork. You'll leave with your own beautiful, professionally presented paper-cut, ready to display at home or give as a handmade gift!

The perfect way to welcome in the winter season, learn a new skill and meet like minded people!
