The Jewish people have a rich tradition of creating folk art in the service of celebrations and ritual and of Hiddur Mitzvah, sanctifying the everyday. Creating cut paper artworks is one way by which Jews elevated their traditions. This five-week workshop is an exploration of Jewish Papercutting with an emphasis on the history, symbols, inscriptions, motivation and uses of paper cuts among the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe and North Africa, alongside the tools to create works of our own.
