By the end of the workshop, each participant will have made a quilled design to take away with them.  This typically takes the form of a small picture or greetings card.

Philippa's Introduction to Paper Quilling workshop is designed to be an enjoyable hands-on 'taster' session for groups of up to ten people.  The basic workshop lasts 2 - 3 hours, and includes the following elements:

- An introduction to quilling and its history

- Examples of antique and contemporary quilling

- Basic techniques of paper coil making and creation of simple shapes

- The assembly of shapes to create a variety of quilled motifs.

The workshop is a relaxing, fun and sociable experience which usually leaves participants eager to try some more quilling in their own time.

By making use of the remaining materials in the starter kit provided and the skills they have acquired, it is possible for participants to carry on doing some quilling on their own at home.
