The Hands Behind the Work

Jin Jun’an has been cutting paper since he was old enough to hold a pair of scissors steady. He grew up in the countryside of northern China, where paper cuttings went up on windows and door lintels every spring — flowers for a good harvest, animals for a healthy year, characters for a happy marriage. His work has been collected and published in The Paper Cuttings of Jin Jun’an, and he still cuts every piece by hand, the same way he learned. We are honoured to send his work out into the world, one framed piece at a time.

Want to Try It Yourself?

Chinese Paper Cutting for Beginners is a 12-lesson course taught by a working artisan. No experience needed, no special tools — just scissors, red paper, and a bit of patience. By the end you will have cut and framed a piece of your own.
