Hans Christian Andersen PAPER, PEN & POETRY

On Tuesday the 29th of December we will be exploring light and shadow inspired by the storytelling of Hans Christian Andersen. With paper, pen and passages read from his tale 'The Shadow', we will be diving into our own shadow and bring light to help us find a beautiful balance between them. Calligrapher extraordinaire, Betty Soldi will be joining paper cutting experts Helene and Simone Bendix, and graphic designer Kathy Miller.

'a word is as good as it's ...shadow '

Together we will create poetry and go on a playful journey into the depths of words as we bring paper to life.

Have your paper, pen and scissors at hand, whilst listening to some of our favourite passages of the Danish storyteller from 'The Ugly Duckling', The little Mermaid' and his darker tales like 'The Shadow'. Betty Soldi will be shedding light on handpicked words from his tales and we will create similar paper cuts to the ones Hans Christian Andersen cut himself.

Suitable for ALL LEVELS

Everyone is welcome to join in on this class. We know this is a difficult and uncertain time, which is why we are even more eager to share creative thoughts, making more out of what we have and being together, even if it is 'only' online. So, please don't make the reason for not joining a financial one. On the contrary, discover how it can lift your spirits when you create something out of practically nothing. We trust you to pay what you can afford - no questions asked, Two by Two creators, are truly grateful for all contributions, as creativity is our source of income.
