Papercutting Illuminated Masterclass

November 8 & 9, 2025
10 am – 4 pm

Visarts Center for Craft Studies
155 Gibbs Street
Rockville, MD 20850

Explore the timeless art of papercutting in this immersive two-day workshop. Through an engaging artist talk and live demonstrations, I will introduce the historical context of my work and guide students through precision knife-cutting techniques.

Drawing from this inspiration, students will design and construct their own lightbox. This unique project combines lessons in design, drawing, and paper construction with an emphasis on light, space, and archival presentation, culminating in a dramatic display of personal expression through cut paper.

Juror Elizabeth Dale-Deines of the National Air and Space Museum selected “Chocolate’s Labors” for Chronicles: Storytelling Through Imagery. This exhibit “will explore the power of visual narratives… These works will highlight how contemporary artists engage in this age-old tradition by capturing moments, myths, and their personal histories in striking and imaginative ways.”


During the 8th Annual Arlington Visual Art Studio Tour, I welcomed about 50 guests in my studio, and had a wonderful time meeting new people and catching up with regulars.  If you missed the tour, please reach out to schedule a time to visit.
