ABOUT



W O O D L A N D   P A P E R C U T S   is the artisan studio of Naomi Shiek (that's me!). 

My name means pleasant and my surname is pronounced chic, both of which are reflected in this atelier ~ a pleasant, elegant place from which beautiful papercuts spring forth.

It is my honour to create cherished artworks that celebrate your love & commitment.

I specialize in papercut ketubot; highly decorative artworks traditionally used in Jewish weddings and now in all celebrations! I create authentic, highly-detailed and time-consuming tactile paper heirlooms cut by hand. Each of my ketubah designs feature my signature style of elegant florals and enchanting forest scenes for an exquisite, romantic finish.

My papercut ketubot are sold at Woodland Papercuts on Etsy, and you're also welcome to contact me for bespoke commissions!

All my papercuts are drawn and crafted by hand in keeping with artisan traditions and quality.


These are meaningful artworks for you to keep and treasure forever. I'm here to tell your unique love story by creating a special memento of your celebration that will be an artwork you'll be proud to display in your home.

Looking for a keepsake that will make your loved ones go 'Wow!'? How about a heirloom that will make your heart flutter every time you lay eyes on it? Do you love fine art and support the magic of skilled craftsmanship? Then we're a perfect match! Whether you are familiar with the ketubah or not, with a friendly and patient approach I am here to answer your questions and guide you through the process of creating a cherished keepsake of your wedding, be it traditional, secular, same sex, or interfaith, all are welcome! 


With a few artful questions and splendid imagination, together we'll shine a light on your vision for your ketubah and bring it to life. As I'm fluent in both Hebrew and English, I will work with you on the text to ensure it is just right for your ceremony and express all your wishes for your everlasting union. No matter where you are in the world, with a few short consultation emails and in a matter of weeks your dream ketubah can be in your hands!

Since establishing Woodland Papercuts on Valentine's Day in 2012 my papercuts have taken part in countless hapy weddings and have found loving homes around the world. It would be my honor to be a part of your big day as well!
