Brought to you by the Grosse Pointe Artist Association:

In this workshop Nobuko Yamaski will teach Kirie, the ancient Japanese art of paper cutting. A noted cutout picture artist is the late Takidaira Jiro.

To make Kirie art, the class will cut out a simple design in black paper, then lay it on a sheet of Bristol paper colored with pencils in bright colors.

Because Kirie takes cutting skills, this is a perfect follow-up class for students who have taken Japanese woodblock classes.

Students are asked to bring: 
Their design
Ruler
A red ball pen
Carving knives ( Nobuko will have knives for students to borrow.)
Tape
Colored pencils

Nobuko will provide:
Black paper
Carbon paper
Bristol paper
Cutting board
