What you'll do

In this 2.5 hour workshop, participants will have the opportunity to select their desired patterns for their zodiac design from a collection of common paper-cutting patterns prepared by the instructor. These designs will be applied onto red A4 paper. The overall layout on the red A4 paper will be pre-designed by the instructor based on the zodiac signs of the participants.

To start off, the first 30 minutes of the workshop will be dedicated to completing a preliminary draft and outline of your chosen design. Our instructor will provide guidance and support, ensuring that you feel confident in bringing your vision to life. Then, armed with scissors and precision craft knives, you will proceed to cut out your design. From intricate details to bold shapes, you'll have the opportunity to explore different techniques and unleash your creativity.

Don't worry if you are unsure about the materials or worried about making mistakes. Our instructor will provide all the necessary materials and guidance. You'll be amazed at how quickly you'll become absorbed in this relaxing and meditative art form. As you focus on cutting and shaping the paper, you'll find a sense of calm and satisfaction wash over you.

At the end of the workshop, you will have created a captivating paper-cutting masterpiece that you can proudly display in your home or gift to a loved one. Not only will you have learned a new skill, but you will also have experienced the joy and satisfaction of creating something with your own hands!

Looking forward to seeing you at the workshop!
