What is Traditional Chinese Paper Cutting?

Paper Cutting is one of the most popular folk arts in China. The Chinese make paper cuts for celebrations, festivals and home decoration, with the extensive use of red, which is the lucky color in China. It usually has a heavy emphasis on single or a few Chinese characters often symbolizing with the Chinese Zodiac animals.

Classes start on Saturday, July 19, from 10 to 11:30 am. There will be classes until September 13, with a break on the weekend of Labor Day (August 30). You can sign up for the entire session, or come on a class-by-class basis.
