Paper Quilling Cards Workshop

Waverley Library
Details
Paper quilling, also known as paper filigree, has a rich history dating back to the Renaissance period in Europe. It was practised by nuns who would use strips of paper trimmed from the edges of gilded books to decorate religious objects. The art form gained popularity during the 18th century in England and France when it became a fashionable pastime for affluent women. In the Victorian era, paper quilling was used to create decorative pieces such as tea caddies and picture frames.
This technique is renowned for its intricate floral designs and embellishments, making it ideal for embellishing greeting cards.
