We believe art education should be fun and inspiring, giving folks, regardless of their ages, a window to experience firsthand rich cultures behind. Our team makes free crafts materials that can be downloaded and printed at home for the whole family to enjoy (though we hope you would join our in-person craft table). We produce educational videos, in cooperation with our members and partners, to keep high-quality art resources accessible to more friends.

Chinese Papercutting
Papercutting is one of the most important types of Chinese folk art. The artworks, symbolizing luck and happiness, are usually made of red paper and used on auspicious events like Spring Festival, weddings and childbirth. Borrow a pair of scissors and let the magic begin. Parental guidance is highly recommended.
