School of Ornament presents: Paper Cut Outs

🌿 School of Ornament presents: Paper Cut Outs

A free 6-week creative workshop · Jean Stokes Community Centre, Islington

Wednesdays 11am · Starts 17th June 2026

—

Join us for a series of free, hands-on paper cut-out workshops inspired by folk art, ornamental pattern and the natural beauty of Islington.

No experience needed. All materials provided. All abilities welcome.

Over 6 weekly sessions you will:

→ Explore the history and traditions of decorative paper cutting

→ Develop your own designs inspired by local flora and ornamental patterns

→ Learn techniques in composition, tracing, cutting and assembling

→ Produce finished decorative works to display at the centre or take home

This course is designed to be flexible — if you miss a session or join later in the series, you are still very welcome. Each class is accessible and enjoyable on its own, while building towards a final piece of work.

The sessions are led by Zuzanna, an Islington-based artist, designer and educator, with a background in decorative arts, traditional crafts and education.
