Master Craft Workshop: Papercutting Illuminated

Explore the timeless art of papercutting in this immersive two-day workshop with acclaimed cut paper artist Melanie Kehoss. Through an engaging artist talk and live demonstrations, Melanie will introduce the historical context of her work and guide students through precision knife-cutting techniques.

Drawing from this inspiration, students will design and construct their own illuminated shadow lightbox. This unique project combines lessons in design, drawing, and paper construction with an emphasis on light, shadow, and archival presentation, culminating in a dramatic display of personal expression through cut paper.

This Center for Craft Studies program is made possible in part by a generous grant from the Windgate Foundation.
