WELCOME

Quilling, also known as paper filigree is the art of rolling narrow strips of paper and then shaping them to make the most exquisite designs. Projects can range from simple gift tags and cards to pictures, 3-D models or the decoration of boxes.

The Quilling Guild is a Registered Charity, Number 1123927.

ANNUAL DISPLAY of QUILLING

Proposed FESTIVAL of QUILLING venue

The Guild, formed in 1983, aims to promote the art of quilling and the knowledge of quill work.
You don't have to be an expert to join the Quilling Guild - most of our members are simply people who are enthusiastic about quilling.
They come from all walks of life and ages have ranged from seven years to eighty plus. If you are a UK Income Tax payer and have not yet completed a GIFT AID FORM, please contact Peter Herring.

The Guild holds, annually, a Display of Quilling and a Shared Ideas Day in the UK (see link above for information) and organises a Festival of Quilling, approximately every five years.
We are planning the next Festival, to take place in 2013, as the Olympic Games is a big event for this year. We hope the venue will be easily accessible from an international airport,
and by road and rail, have a good choice of accommodation, be in an interesting place to visit, in a building to suit our needs for the occasion
- much the plan of the Olympic Games Committee, probably.

One venue which lends itself perfectly is in Liverpool, a city which has a lot to offer, both for visitors to the area, and also as an excellent place for our FESTIVAL of QUILLING.
For more information, watch this space and our magazine, Quillers Today.

Regional Representatives of the Guild also arrange meetings and workshops throughout the year, to which anyone interested in quilling is welcome to come. Just contact the organiser.
If you would like to learn to quill and need more information, please write to the Secretary or the Regional Reps' Liaison Officer, or the Enquiries Officer, all listed on the Committee page.

Membership of the Quilling Guild enitles you to receive three copies a year of 'Quillers Today', our colour magazine with news, views, information, pictures and patterns.
Wherever you are in the world, you can watch your letter box in the spring, summer and autumn for the welcome envelope with your own copy.

Each year, the Quilling Guild holds an ANNUAL DISPLAY of QUILLING, to which all members and the General Public are welcome. At the same time there's the Guild's annual AGM.

At each Annual Display you can see some of the finest work created during that year. You can also see quillings by people like you and me. You can see them among entries for competitions, from beginners to experienced quillers, or as displays of quilling from the regions around the UK and from overseas. See our AGM page for news of our next Display of Work and AGM.

On the day after the Display of Quilling, we meet in a local venue for a 'Shared Ideas Day', when quillers get together to see what others do, bring some things they've been quilling and chat to each other about their interests or exchange techniques.

An example from the 2008 Display's quilling’s on the CD, this lovely piece was made by Beth Henderson,
who you know as our Membership Secretary.
