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 needle tools, pencils, or toothpicks. People that practice the artform of quilling are often called quillers. 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. “𝑴𝒔. 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒑𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒆, 𝑰 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍 𝒔𝒐𝒐𝒐𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒙𝒆𝒅,” 𝒊𝒔 𝒐𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒏 𝒂 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑰 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒎𝒚 𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔. The quilling shapes taught are the round coil, marquis, and the teardrop. ❄️❄️❄️ *If your learner is already enrolled in my ongoing Quilling Club, it will not be necessary to enroll in this one-time class.

Other Details
Parental Guidance
Scissors can be sharp. Also, if you choose to order quilling tools for your learner, please take note that they are sharp as well. Please keep a close eye on your learner during this class. Some parental assistance may be required to help children with poor fine motor skills.
There is a YouTube video https://youtu.be/WooUWTRBHxs that you may watch with your child if you would like. It is a 3 minute video of me going over instructions about what can be expected in quilling class and how to prepare. I will not be showing the video in class. You do not need to have a YouTube account to be able to watch this video. Thank you!

Bachelor's Degree in Education from Toccoa Falls College
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
