What happens in this class?

Your workshop tutor Kip made his very first paper cut map as a Christmas gift in 2012. He wanted to create and give something that was at once personal, unique, creative and memorable.

A brilliant experience of learning to paper cut with Kip. He very kindly took the time to prep up my map of the area surrounding our house. I didn't get it finished int he two and a half hours, but I feel confident that I have the skills to finish it on my own. I do live in Central London so I guess there were rather more cuts needed than if I lived in the countryside!! I've signed up to do another one.

This class was so enjoyable. The process of map cutting was rewarding and engaging. Kip, the teacher, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and went the extra mile to help everyone in the class. I am definitely going to do another class!

Great class and I was very pleased with the final product. Kip was very helpful in guiding me through the trickier bits and was fun to chat to over the afternoon as we worked.
