QUILLED SNOWFLAKE BY ROB BARTLETT
PAPER FILIGREE/QUILLING CLASSES – 3 SESSIONS
Three Saturday Mornings: Nov 14, 21, 28, 10:00a.m. – Noon
$30 kit (If you order online now, the kit is only $25), Ages 12+ (requires fine motor skills)
Instruction for non-members is $5/session (paid at the time of the class) but free to paid members
These three sessions will introduce students to the zen art of quilling, also known as paper filigree – the coiling of paper in intricate designs. This aft form, now enjoying a huge comeback, was supposedly used by ancient Egyptians, and throughout the ages. Modern tools and papers take this art to the next level. This class will cover the basic shapes and provide the students with the skills, tools, and materials needed to create 3 increasingly complex patterns designed by the instructor.
