Learn about the Polish folk art of papercutting, wycinanki, from artist Sam Wróbel, and create a papercutting of your own. During this 2 hour workshop, you will learn about the history of wycinanki, regional styles, and techniques for creating your own papercuttings. Together, we will make one Kurpie region style papercutting, which is made from one piece of folded paper, and one Łowicz region style papercutting, featuring layered color.
