About the event
Paper cutting is one of the oldest and most popular folk arts in China. It is practiced throughout the country and by various ethnic groups. The main cutting tools are simple: paper and scissors or an engraving knife. The artworks are often made of red paper, as red is associated with festivities and happiness in Chinese culture, though other colors are often used. As decorations, paper cuttings enliven walls, windows, doors, and mirrors in homes. They are also used in festivals, weddings, childbirth, and prayers, and to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
Come join us for a paper cutting workshop with Hsiu-Chuan Armstrong from the Redwood Empire Chinese Association to celebrate the Year of the Snake.
