In our modern, fast-paced world, we’re constantly connected, constantly on. The endless flow of information and demands can leave us overwhelmed, both mentally and physically. But what if we could find peace in simplicity, in the act of creating? In this creative workshop, you'll explore papercutting as a meditative art form, letting go of distractions and focusing on the rhythm of each cut. By the end of the experience, you’ll take home 1-2 original papercut artworks of your own creation, ready to be framed. As you engage with the process, a sense of calm will wash over you. Your heart rate slows, your breathing steadies, and your mind finds stillness. Through this repetitive, rhythmic action, you’ll experience a new state of mindfulness- a moment of hyperfocus and inner quiet where worries fade and only the present moment exists. This experience is perfect for groups seeking a memorable time creating unique artworks together or teams looking for a one-of-a-kind team-building activity- fostering creativity, strengthening bonds in an informal setting, reducing stress, and enhancing employee well-being. Duration: Approximately 2-2.5 hours, with a 20-minute artist talk followed by a hands-on workshop. Artist Talk: I’ll begin by sharing my journey and approach to art, exploring how I found focus, mindfulness, and calm through papercutting. In this 20-minute talk, you’ll learn about my passion for storytelling through paper and the power of craft as a pathway to mindfulness. Workshop: You’ll start with practice templates to get familiar with the techniques. Then, you’ll move on to creating 1-2 finished pieces using my exclusive art templates and high-quality paper. By the end, you’ll leave with your unique creations and everything you need to continue your practice at home, including a cutting mat and a knife with extra blades. I’ll provide everything you need- all you have to do is set aside a couple of hours, take a deep breath, and let go.
