SPECIAL TOPIC : For folks who have practised Chinese calligraphy for some time and would like to work with me in depth a special style, let me know and I shall design a program to suit you.

CHINESE PAPERCUTTING SCHEDULE :

If you are a beginner, you will concentrate on the basic of papercutting on the first day. From the second day on, I shall introduce you to different styles of Chinese techniques like Yin and Yang, Multipl- colour, Applique, Fold and cut, and Splattering. There is no fix time in achieving each technique because each technique needs time to learn thoroughly. You may end up in learning only one or two techniques but learning it well is more important than learning a bit of everything. For folks who are experienced in papercutting, I shall discuss with you and give suggestions on which technique suits your program best.
