Chinese paper cutting (jianzhi, 剪纸) has been practiced for over 1,500 years — and in 2009 it was inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list. In villages across northern China, red paper cuttings are still pasted on windows at New Year to bring luck and joy.
This course takes you from your very first snip to a finished, framable piece. You only need three things: red paper, scissors, and patience. Every design comes with a printable template, so you trace before you cut — no freehand drawing skills required.
