About this workshop:
Quilling is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped and glued together to create decorative designs.  The paper is rolled, looped, curled, twisted and otherwise manipulated to create shapes that make up designs to decorate greetings cards, pictures, boxes, and to make models, jewelry, mobiles, etc.,  Quilling starts with rolling a strip of paper into a coil and then pinching the coil into shapes that can be clued together.  There are advanced techniques and different sized paper that are used to create 3D miniatures, abstract art, flowers, and portraits amoung many things.

In this workshop, students will learn how to create basic quilling shapes and have the opportunity to create a card, small picture or a piece of jewelry.  We will also learn a little bit about the interesting history behind the art of paper quilling.  It is really rather relaxing and therapeutic to create art with the quilling technique.
