Workshops
Arrange an in-person papercutting workshop or an online artist talk with Tusif Ahmad for schools, galleries, cultural organisations, community groups, and private gatherings.
Workshop
A guided practical session for schools, community groups, cultural organisations, galleries, and private groups. Participants learn the foundations of paper cutting through a prepared template and leave with a finished artwork.
Artist Talk
A Zoom-based artist talk for audiences who want to understand Tusif Ahmad’s paper-cutting practice, creative process, Islamic art references, and selected artworks.
Planning
Workshops are practical, accessible, and designed around the needs of the host group. Organisers can arrange a single session or a wider programme for multiple age groups.
Suggested programme groups
Printed paper-cutting templates are provided for in-person workshops. For organiser-led printing, templates can be supplied as a PDF for A4 colour paper.
Organisers provide craft knives, replacement blades, cutting mats, pencils, erasers, sharpeners, and A4/A3 colour paper.
Material cost is usually around AUD 35 to 40 per participant, depending on the tools and paper selected.
The in-person workshop rate is AUD 50 per hour. A four-hour workshop plus setup and pack-down is typically AUD 250, excluding transport and travel expenses.
For interstate or international invitations, transport and accommodation are arranged with the organiser.
Payment details are shared after the workshop is confirmed. Payment is required before the workshop begins.
