Quilling – CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
Quilling, aka paper-rolling, or paper scrolling – has a long and interesting history. The origins of quilling are not recorded, but some think it began with the invention of paper, in China in 105 AD or in Egypt, where some tombs have been found to contain wire shapes similar in appearance to modern quilling.
In this class, you will learn how to make a flower by quilling. You will make the basic shapes to determine an item or stand-along masterpiece.
