Quilled Holiday Ornaments (in person) with Mavis Liggett

Quilling is the art of using rolled, shaped, and glued paper to create a unified decorative design. The name “quilling” is thought to come from the origin of the art — birds’ feathers or quills, which were used  to coil the strips of paper around. The art of quilling has been around for centuries and has persevered through time, most notably making its mark throughout the Western world. During the Renaissance, nuns and monks would roll gold-gilded paper trimmed from books to adorn religious objects, mimicking costly gold filigree.

In this class, we’ll make a beautiful quilled ornament to hang in your home or give as a gift! Registration is required.

Registration will close at noon on the day before class. If you have any questions, please contact the Hirsch Office at 336.209.0259 or email admin@hirschcenter.org.
