The Art of Papercutting with @emilyhogarth

To see more of Emily’s papercutting art, follow @emilyhogarth on Instagram.

“Each papercut can take anything from a day to a week to complete all depending on the scale and the complexity of the design,” says Emily Hogarth (@emilyhogarth), an illustrator and papercutting artist from Edinburgh, Scotland. “I design it as I go along, which I find often makes the design more organic.” Each work is cut by hand and on the opposite side of the final product, which means Emily is extra careful when incorporating words into her designs. “Writing backwards has become normal for me these days but it did take a bit of practice.”

Emily says she uses Instagram to capture the magic of everyday life, as well as documenting her art. “My work is often inspired by my surroundings, flowers and foliage on my dog walk or the pattern on an old vase.”

Emily assures anyone can take up the art of papercutting: “The best thing about papercutting is that it requires so little tools — all you need is a cutting mat, a piece of paper and a scalpel and some blades and off you go.”
