Description

Learn the basics of paper quilling and design cards using this technique! This class will be an introduction to the basics of paper quilling, with a specific focus on card making. This class is designed to be an easy gateway into the craft and no prior experience is required. We will start by briefly talking about the history of the craft, its place in modern day artwork, and easy ways that it can be used in everyday life. We will then move on to learning about the tools and techniques used to roll paper into basic shapes and turn those shapes into part of a larger design. Students will work alongside the instructor to practice these techniques and will then come up with their own card design to create. By the end of the class, every student should have made progress on or completed a card design. The materials included for each student will be good for many projects to come! About the instructor: Amanda Pham is a multidisciplinary artist and crafter that enjoys doing a bit of everything! I have been doing paper quilling since elementary school. My mother and I used to spend a lot of time making unique, personalized cards for friends and family members. Our cards were always well received and some people still have them after several decades because they brought them so much joy. My favorite part of quilling is looking through books and google searches for new design ideas or doodling to come up with my own designs. I think paper quilling is a beautiful craft because it’s structured and easy for anyone to get into while still leaving room for limitless imagination.
