With Tamar Shadur

Join artist Tamar Shadur in an exploration of the beloved folk tradition of Papercuts. Together participants will design and make their own papercut art pieces to take home, all inspired by the art, history, and material culture of Northampton. Using simple materials, we'll explore papercutting techniques such as symmetry, positive and negative shapes, and meaningful symbols. Combining local history with hands-on collaborative artmaking, the workshop will offer a fulfilling and creative experience for children and their families.

The workshop is open to children (3rd grade and up) with accompanying adult(s). Using simple techniques and provided materials, children and adults will have the opportunity to create at least one paper cut to take home.
