Under Simi’s expert guidance, participants will learn to shape, assemble, and transform paper strips into elegant designs that reflect both precision and play. All materials will be provided, including a frame for the finished creations, making this a perfect opportunity to take home a piece of art made entirely by the participants.
This meditative, hands-on session highlights precision, emotional resonance, and the joy of slow-making. Whether one is looking to try something new, reconnect with one’s creative self, or spend a mindful day immersed in craft, this workshop offers a gentle, joyful entry into the world of quilling.
No prior experience necessary—just some curiosity and a steady hand.
