Wycinanki: The Art of Polish Paper Cutouts

Polish cutouts (wycinanki) are the results of cutting, clipping, punching, tearing, and carving of paper into sometimes abstract and at other times recognizable forms. Polish-American Grace Bazylewski has been a teacher and practitioner of this intricate folk-art form for over thirty-five years. Participants will create their own decorative, colorful wycinanki designs to take home.AccessibilityNeed sign language interpretation or other accessibility assistance for this event?
