Three holiday cards give this RAM Wustum workshop a clear learning goal: participants encounter wycinanki through a project rather than a general craft session.
A Polish paper-cutting tradition, taught through a project
RAM describes wycinanki as the traditional Polish art of decorative papercutting. The class introduces the practice through the creation of three holiday cards, making it a single-session project rather than a multi-part course.
RAM names artist Kasia Drake-Hames as the instructor. Patterns and materials are included, so participants do not need to source those supplies themselves.

A separate class runs at the same time
RAM Wustum also lists Intro to Tapestry Weaving on Nov. 3, from 6 to 8:30 p.m. It covers building a personal loom and the basics of tapestry weaving; the fee is $56 for RAM members and $70 for nonmembers. It is a separately registered class, not part of the papercutting workshop, and the two sessions overlap.

$44 for RAM members; $55 for nonmembers
RAM’s member price for the class is limited by membership type: Senior and Individual members receive the discount only on their own registration. A Family/Dual membership or higher is required to get the discounted rate for multiple household members. Registrants who do not meet the membership rules must pay the remaining balance before class.
Confirm the online cutoff with RAM
The two listings describe different online-registration deadlines. RAM says registration closes four days before class; Visit Racine County says three business days before. Check with RAM rather than relying on either deadline. After online registration closes, RAM advises calling to confirm availability.
Visit Racine County lists 262-636-9177 for checking availability and registering by phone, Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m.

Refunds depend on the timing and who cancels
RAM may cancel the class if it has not reached its enrollment minimum three days before the first class. If the museum cancels, registered participants will be notified by phone or email, and any applicable refund will be processed.
A student who cancels two or more days before class can receive a refund minus a 10% processing fee. Cancellations the day before or the day of class are not refundable, and the registration fee is forfeited. RAM may, at its discretion, credit a fee toward a future class in some cases.
