Mindy Shapiro/Victorian Papercrafts
The art of papercutting dates back to 5th century in China. Over the years, different techniques and styles evolved in countries all over the world. Fast forward to the 19th century and the Victorian era and you will find that papercutting and paper crafts took a variety of forms including silhouettes, decoupage, papercut pictures and valentines. In this workshop inspired by Victorian paper crafts, you will learn how to create papercut hearts combined with decoupage to design a Victorian keepsake heart box. Mindy Shapiro’s groundbreaking creativity, intricate designs and use of color distinguish her as an artist. Her original designs are sketched by hand and cut with a knife.
