Guild of American Papercutters

Turning cut paper into art....

2018 Collection

Collection 2018, the Guild of American Papercutters' biennial celebration of papercutting and community, is over! Reed College in Portland, OR was the site of this wonderful opportunity to learn, get inspired, and explore the world of papercutting through classes, demonstrations, exhibits, and discussions with others from July 22 through July 26.

Make up your mind now to attend our biennial Gap convention in 2020! Plans are underway to hold this event in the Pittsburgh/Western PA area.
