December Virtual Papercutting Workshops
Want to learn how to make papercuts? Need a dose of creativity? I am teaching a few different papercutting workshops in December. These are all virtual so you can join from anywhere. We’re heading into a busy season, and what better way to make a plan to slow down than taking a class?
Thursday December 1, 2022 4-6pm PT: Festive Papercutting with Creative Fuel Collective. This workshop is devoted to covering papercutting basics and exploring a couple different project ideas for papercuts that you can use for cards, ornaments, garlands, and beyond. Come connect with the Creative Fuel community and play with paper! A blade is preferred for this class, but if all you have is scissors, I’ll be giving a few options for that as well. Tickets + more info.
Sunday December 4, 2022 10am to 12pm PT: Papercutting For the Holidays with the National Nordic Museum. In this season of Advent we are focusing on slowing down and creating moments of warmth and joy, and the same goes for this class. I’ll be bringing some Scandinavian holiday illustrations and motifs for inspiration and we’ll be working on seasonal papercuts and making a project that you can keep for yourself or gift to a friend. Tickets + more info.
Tuesday December 13, 2022, 6 to 8pm PT: This is exactly the same class with the National Nordic Museum, we just wanted to make sure that we had a couple of time options so everyone who wanted to come would be able to attend. Tickets + more info.
Keep Making Art
Keep. Making. Art.
Art and creativity can help us through our darkest moments, and I hope that you will keep this mantra in your head. Now that many of us are at home because of quarantine and social distancing measures, it might be just be time to add a little art practice to your every day.
I started a campaign this week called Creative Fuel Challenge (you can sign up here) and I am so inspired by all of the artists who are sharing their creativity in a variety of ways.
Here are some (free) resources if you are looking for art challenges and prompts:
