Make & Decorate a Six-Sided Papercut Box (In-Person, Intergenerational) May 20 & 21, 2023

Join The Hanji Crew, your instructors Libby Pomroy and Kat Wesley, for an afternoon of creativity. Create a six-sided box using bookbinding board. Participants will measure and cut triangles using an X-Atco knife or utility knife. We’ll glue those to the base of the box to get the unique and beautiful six-sided shape.

About Hanji: Korea’s amazing handmade paper has provided both usefulness and beauty to Korean culture for well over a thousand years. The paper’s strength makes it ideal for papercutting, as well as calligraphy, painting, and so much more.

This is a two-day class:
Saturday, May 20 and Sunday, May 21, 1-4 p.m. both days

The first afternoon ends by covering the entire box with white mulberry paper (Korean hanji) to give the box more strength. It dries overnight. Day two, you’ll cover your box with colorful hanji, and cut a design with an X-Acto knife, following a pattern of your choosing for the box top. We have a rainbow of paper colors from which you can choose, as well as designs for the box top. The box is an adorable 3 inches square and very sturdy. The small size keeps board cutting to a minimum.
