Cutting Art

A traditional art called ‘découpage’ in French which brings paper images to life by using tiny scissors or knives. Composed of one or more pieces of paper, in colour or in black and white, traditional mountain life and animals are delicately displayed on a white background. It is here in the Pays-d’Enhaut that artists such as Hauswirth, Saugy and Schwizgebel developed this art through personal experiences in the area.
