$Papercuts and Tapestries: A Mother Daughter Collaboration \u200bLecture with Artist, Tamar Shadur$

Papercuts have been known in Jewish ceremonial art since the 18th century and became popular during the 19th century when Eastern European folk artists began creating elaborate plaques and decorations out of paper for homes and synagogues.
During the 20th century, the popularity of Jewish papercut art declined and after WWII, it was all but forgotten. Enter Yehudit Shadur (1928-2011), a renowned Jewish papercut artist who helped revive this rich traditional art form.
In this presentation, Yehudit's daughter and Northampton artist Tamar Shadur will explain more about the art of paper cutting, show examples of her mother's exquisitely detailed paper cuts, and describe how her mother's work has influenced her own elaborate tapestries.
