Master Jewish paper cutting! Learn how to make beautiful paper roses or snowflakes with Berkeley artist Claire Sherman.
Jewish paper cutting is Jewish folk art made by cutting patterns into paper. This art form is practices by various Jewish communities in Eastern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
This Jewish paper cutting technique uses shiny origami paper to make paper roses, called royzalakh in Yiddish. Royzalakh were traditionally put on windows to celebrate the Jewish holiday Shavuot but you can display these all year-round if you like!
