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.
