Learn the basics of quilling– the art of paper curling– in this class taught by professional artist Jenna Lechner. You will create a beautiful, three-dimensional piece of art with mere paper strips. Quilling is the centuries-old art of paper curling. We will focus on creating basic floral and fruit shapes in this class. By the end of class, you will have completed a finished piece, which can be turned into a card, wall art, or even a fridge magnet. All skill levels are welcome, and all supplies are provided.

Free. Registration is required. This event is supported by the Salem Library Foundation.
