Papercut Zentangle® Valentine

When: February 7, 2021 2 - 4 EST
Cost:  $40
Instructor: Mindy Shapiro, CZT
This class is recorded and all paid students also have access to the recording!

​Papercutting is an ancient art form dating back to the creation of paper during the 5st century in China. Since that time, artisans have used paper, scissors and knives to create objects both ornamental and functional. Perhaps you made a snow flake in grade school or have seen silhouettes. These are forms of papercutting. In this workshop, we will combine papercutting with the Zentangle® method. First we will design a heart using heart inspired tangles and then cut out these tangles to create a papercut Zentangle Valentine suitable for keeps or to give to a loved one. If there is time, we will then tangle inside the papercut tangles. During class Mindy will also explore negative and positive theory, what tangles translate best to papercutting, and different papercutting tradition around the world. 

Supplies:
Red, white, purple and black paper. Feel free to trade out the purple for another color, you just want a contrast. Copy paper is fine,  no cardstock or construction paper as it needs to be think enough to cut with a hobby knife

A few sheets of scrap paper

Red and black 01 microns
Gold thin marker
Pencil with eraser
Tortillion
Glue stick
Hobby knife with #11 blade
Scissors
Self healing cutting mat
