Paper Cut Quilt Design
Led by Helene Knott
There are several cultures where the intricate cutting of paper is an art form. In Mexico, lace cut from tissue paper is a ubiquitous decoration during Día de los Muertos; in Eastern Europe, detailed images of flowers, animals, and the Tree of Life are the subject of paper-cuts called Scherenschnitte. This art form is also practiced in China and Japan, where intricate paper cuts are an art form in themselves and are often used as stencils to print fabric. The paper cuts are beautiful, but they are frequently too intricate to apply to fabric, even with fusing methods. I have found an excellent way of stabilizing the fabric for application. In this class, we will use this technique to create a small wall quilt from cloth.
