This LivePlus™ online workshop is suitable for complete beginners. You needn't have the materials ready whilst watching this online demonstration – it is a time to watch, ask and learn.
Workshop details
Celebrate the arrival of Spring with this botanical themed paper cutting class for beginners. Learn all the skills and techniques you need for accurate, safe cutting as well as how to develop designs suitable for cutting out.
Christine will start the class by showing you some beautiful botanical papercuts from around the world to inspire you, then we'll move on to getting to grips with using a scalpel safely, using some prepared practice sheets which will be provided ahead of the class.
We'll finish off by looking at ideas for creating your own botanical designs and how best to translate them into beautiful cut-outs. Christine will also provide you with a selection of pre-designed botanical themed templates for you to use after the class, perfect for creating cards and gifts for loved ones or just for yourself!
