Paper Blessings – family craft workshop
A 3D Paper Art Journey into Chinese Symbols
Discover the rich meanings behind traditional Chinese symbols through the creative art of layered paper design. In this hands-on workshop, participants will craft their own 3D paper blessing cards using Chinese characters and paper cuts that represent positive wishes such as health, beauty, peace, and happiness.
You can turn into a card to bless a friend or to keep as a reminder of your own intentions.
