Jewish Papercuts
Monday December 23, 2024 11:15am - 12:30pm EST
508 - Hebrew Union College
Ugoretz will present a brief overview of the images and uses of Jewish Paper Cuts with a focus on Eastern European Styles. As a hands-on project, students will create a papercut on the theme of the Khanike menoire. Students will explore the rich historical traditions of Jewish cut paper - a folk art that has been practiced for hundreds of years. Emphasis will be placed on the history, symbols, inscriptions, motivation and uses of paper cuts among the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe. This is a hands-on course with instructions given on how to design, transfer it to paper, how to cut and how to create a finished piece. Templates will be available to use, so no need to know how to draw. Advanced students are also welcome. Deborah Ugoretz is an acclaimed visual artist, NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellow, and the co-curator of YNY's Visual Arts Exhibition. This course will be on-site only.
