Papercut Portraits

This workshop will focus on the materials, tools, and methods needed to cut a colorful paper portrait with accuracy and expression. Students will learn to capture likeness and personality using a photo of themselves or someone else as a template for their paper cut. We will cover paper cutting techniques, safety, positive and negative space, and cutting and gluing colorful infills to make your paper portrait stand out. All levels.
