Papercutting with Sarais Crawshaw
Course Suitability: Suitable for beginners and improvers
Maximum Participants: 12
Course Description:
Learn about the origins of papercutting and its spread worldwide. Look at how to simplify images in positive and negative space, and make networks of joins to hold a papercut together. Experiment with different tools and types of cuts, folders and tears to create different effects and to use contract or colours to enhance the images. Create a one or two-layer papercut picture.
What to bring:
A materials list will be supplied, alternatively students can order from the artist.
About the artist:
I have always been curious about the natural world and my work reflects this fascination with wildlife and wild places. Since 2000, I have been developing my own ideas in papercut, alongside my other artwork in acrylic paint and pastel. I try to capture the behaviour and character of animals, and to picture them in their wild habitats. I am President of the Wildlife Art Society International.
Places are on a first come first basis.

I am interested in this course on 6 December. Is the whole day £25 or is there a different full cost? I couldn’t find one.
Many thanks
