  Quilling, sometimes called “paper filigree,” was invented in the Renaissance and continued to be a popular decorative technique in colonial America. It is an art-form that once used a quill pen to roll and shape strips of paper, which were then glued together to form a decorative design. During this program, you will learn the basic techniques of quilling and create your own small, quilled card to take home.
