Holiday Craft: Scherenschnitte (paper cutting)

Open to district residents only.  Limit of 20 people.  Please pay a $3.00 materials fee.

Enjoy learning to make a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch folk art piece to give as a unique gift or serve as a memorable holiday decoration at home.  Have in mind a picture or subject that has special meaning for you, such as a person, place, animal, holiday symbol, etc.  Instructor Kari Kaczmarek will guide and show you how to make a white paper cut-out of your subject.  Mount this on a dark paper background to create a reverse silhouette, an impressive handiwork (up to 16" x 16" in size).  You will need to bring sharp, pointed scissors to class.
