The Art of Paper Quilling: CANCELLED

Selwyn Community Education is based at Selwyn College, Kohimarama, Auckland.
Presenter: Aggie Marek
Paper quilling has existed since the invention of paper! It is the art of rolling and cutting paper into thin strips, rolling and pinching the pieces into different shapes and then gluing the shapes together to form decorative art. Paper quilling projects can be used to decorate cards, boxes, gift bags, picture frames or even be made into 3D stand-alone art pieces. Come and learn the fundamental techniques to decorate your own cards, boxes, gift bags, picture frames or even create your own 3D stand alone art pieces.
Expected learning outcomes: The course will help you arouse creativity and encourages self-expression. You will develop hand-eye coordination, improve your focus and reduce stress. At the end of this course you'll have created your own unique masterpieces and learned the basics of this rather addictive artistic hobby.
Who should attend? This course is designed for those who know little or nothing about quilling but are mesmerized by the technique and would like to learn it.
What to bring. All course materials are included in the course fee. We'll provide tea and coffee in the staff-room for breaks. Bring a packed lunch and meet others in the community in our very sociable lunch breaks.
Our mission: "To provide quality, affordable, adult and life long learning opportunities which empower individuals in their personal lives and as members of society."
