1-2 hours per week. The projects will possibly take additional time after the student finishes the videos. The video is taught as a quill-a-long, but if the student doesn't finish it at the same speed at the teacher, additional time will be needed.Assessment

Hello families, and welcome to my Quilling class! There is no prior quilling experience needed for this class. Each class will cover the basic quilling shapes that students need to know for each project. Please post pictures of the finished creations so that I can admire your work! I will personally give feedback to each learner enrolled in my self-paced class! What is Quilling❓ The art of quilling, which dates back to the 1500s, is using thin strips of colorful paper and turning them around an object to make coils. You may have recognized the root word “quill”, which is a feather, formerly used as a pen when dipped into ink. The original art form used quills to turn the paper around to form the coils. Instead of quills, these days people use quilling tools, pencils, or toothpicks for quilling. People that practice the artform of quilling are often called quillers or quilling artists. Why try Quilling❓ People choose to learn quilling for multiple reasons. First off, the historical artform is beautiful. The supplies are basic and not costly. Even the kits, when purchased, are not expensive. Quilling promotes hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills in children. It boosts creativity in people of all ages, and promotes gift giving, as the projects make lovely cards and gifts. Lastly, almost everyone reports that it makes them feel relaxed and calms them, so it’s very beneficial for those suffering with anxiety. ✂️Supplies needed for each class:✂️ - strips of paper in various colors - 5mm wide (quilling paper or construction/copier paper strips) - liquid glue that dries clear - scissors - pencil, toothpick, or quilling tool - cardstock or blank notecards - a ribbon if making the snowflake into an ornament If you decide to order a quilling tool set, I would like to suggest this one that I purchased from Amazon for around $20. https://a.co/d/2Hy2yE0

Hello from the U.S.A.! Specializing in Quilling and Science classes, I offer a variety of one-time, multi-day, and ongoing classes. Graduating college with a degree in Early Childhood Education has allowed me to teach children, ages 4-12. My master's is in Counseling. I believe that the combination of my bachelor's and master's work, as well as my soft skills make me a patient, kind, and loving teacher.
The emotional well-being of students always comes first. I strive to give my learners an atmosphere where learning feels comfortable and never stressful. My experience as a mother of three has taught me much about how children learn best. I strive to provide exactly that perfect learning atmosphere in my online classes.
My strength areas are:
-Cross-Cultural Communication:
Having lived and traveled extensively abroad, I enjoy meeting and teaching students all over the world!
-S.T.E.A.M.:
I'm very passionate about S.T.E.A.M. education, especially Science and Art! These subjects are incorporated often into my classes.
-Scaffolding:
I constantly evaluate the progress of my students and adjust my teaching to meet their needs.
-Student Encouragement:
Celebrating wins with students is my delight! I want them to know that I am happy to help them learn and I want them to succeed!
My hobbies include kayaking, swimming, and quilling paper art. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family at Lake Hartwell, Georgia, U.S.A., where I live with my husband, three children, and our bordoodle Princess. I hope to teach your learner soon!Reviews
