About the course: Quilling is a craft that involves the use of paper strips, that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create a decorative design and dates back to the Renaissance. French and Italian nuns and monks used quilling to
decorate book covers and religious items. Today, there’s been a modern revival of this old craft.
Using simple paper rolling techniques, this workshop will show you how to manipulate the coils of paper into different shapes which are then arranged to create decorative pictures
