Join artist Janice Nesta for a fun and interesting workshop! Sherenschnitte (pronounced sher-en-schnit-uh) is a German folk art that dates back hundreds of years.   It is a paper cutting craft easily learned by beginners.  The paper is folded and cut to create symmetrical designs that are mounted on a contrasting color of card stock.  Today, the finished artwork can be used for framed artwork, cards and scrap-booking.  You will finish  several designs in class.

Members: $75    | Non-Members: $85
