An Introduction to Scherenschnitte

Join Executive Director Amy Powell for a foray into the Swiss and German art of Scherenschnitte.  Translated as “scissor cuts”, scherenschnitte utilizes small detail scissors to craft highly detailed works out of paper.  Properly mounted and displayed on a backing, they are intricate and charming artworks reminiscent of traditional folk art of years past.  Students will be provided a choice of simple seasonal templates to work from, scherenschnitte scissors, and a frame to display their final work.  

Class will be held from 5-6 pm on Monday, November 13 and 20 in the Idonea Hersee Classroom at Art Reach, 111 E. Broadway, Mount Pleasant, MI.

*Students 12 and over are welcome to enroll.
