Program Description:
Come clip, snip, and cut your way through a hands-on workshop focused on paper cutting. Discover how to create your own delicate designs using two simple materials: paper and a blade! In this workshop, we will explore historic Mexican paper cutting traditions, used in celebrations for, Dia de Muertos, Day of the Dead. These “Papel Picado,” or punched papers often feature patterns of skull and are placed around altars. All skill levels welcome. This workshop is for Georgia Tech Students, Staff, and Faculty. Located in the Price Gilbert Library, Wilby Room G-120 of Crosland Tower, by the Blue Donkey.
