Quilling is an ancient art where paper is rolled, twisted, shaped, and pinched into infinite stunning and unexpected shapes. Shapes like spirals, S curves, stars, tear drops, and more are combined to form larger images and environments. Artist Vicky Youngman will lead the class. Quilling is fun, addicting, relaxing, and easy to learn.
