Discover the paper craft art form that is quilling. Strips of paper are rolled and shaped into decorative designs. You can create jewelry, cards, pictures and more.
Also known as paper filigree, this technique started in the 15th century in Italy and France. It really took off in the 18th century in England and America. It is back again as creating by hand has risen in popularity as an alternative to too much screen-time.
In this two-hour experience you will create a card that can be sent or used as artwork. Learn techniques and get inspired by the endless possibilities that can be created.
All materials supplied. This is an in-person class.
