Art Class: Quilling with Naomi Lipsky
Learn the beautiful art of quilling -- "paper filigree" -- with local artist Naomi Lipsky!
Quilling consists of coiling narrow strips of paper to form shapes, which are then assembled into a design. It was most popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, and was considered suitable work for elegant young ladies, as mentioned in Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. Early uses included ornamenting tea caddies, candle sconces, and deep-set floral designs.
In this introduction, participants will learn about the history of quilling, how to make basic shapes, and assemble them into a design to take home.
Naomi’s award-winning work has been exhibited in a variety of museums and galleries and has been featured in art books and other publications. Her exhibit "Quilling, Gilding and Judaic Art" is currently on display at Cherrydale Library.
