Workshop Cut Your Own Paper Story
From results to action!
On Saturday 3 October 2026 from 11.00 – 16.00h visual artist Tienke Zijlstra will be running a workshop at the Museum of Paper-Cutting Art, in collaboration with the museum. Tienke’s working method is characterized by close collaboration with the material and her own body. In her current work, large drawings are cut up following an intensive creative process and reassembled into layered compositions.
Registration closes on Sunday 27 September.
Are you interested in exploring together what happens when, in the art of paper cutting, the focus is not on the result, but on the physical act of cutting itself? Then come along!
After the workshop, the work will be displayed in a pop-up exhibition at the museum.
The workshop is part of ‘Schatten in Drenthe’. Visual artist Tienke Zijlstra (1982) is creating a new work especially for the Museum of Paper-Cutting Art, which will be exhibited alongside works from the Open Call at the Museum of Paper-Cutting Art from 1 October.
