The Year of the Dragon is drawing to a close, and the Year of the Snake is upon us! We invite you to welcome the Lunar New Year of the Snake with an inspiring Chinese papercutting workshop. Join multimedia artist Zhonghe (Elena) Li to learn about the traditional art of Chinese papercutting, exploring its rich symbolism, aesthetics, and philosophy. Li will guide you through the basic techniques of papercutting using scissors and will help you craft your own unique designs to then use to decorate a paper lantern.
The hands-on session will take place in the Materials Lab on the Lower Level.
$15 workshop fee. Registration is required and space is limited; registration will open on this form, beginning on Thursday, January 16, at 10am. Workshop fee must be paid to confirm registration. Minimum age of 14; no previous experience required.
