Wychinanki w/ Cheryl Ann Boc-Chidester

Discover the beautiful, intricate world of paper craft! In this two-hour workshop, students will learn the history, traditional themes, and design elements of Wycinanki (pronounced Vee-chee-non-kee), the vibrant folk art of Polish paper cutting.
Using modern tools and materials, Cheryl will guide you through the process of layering and cutting paper to create stunning, symmetrical, one-of-a-kind designs. You will have the choice to put your own personal spin on templates provided by the instructor, or dive right into creating your very own custom design from scratch. No two pieces are ever exactly alike, and by the end of the session, your beautiful, layered artwork will be completely finished and ready to frame!
