WELCOME
| The Quilling Guild is a Registered Charity, Number 1123927. 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 elaborate pictures, 3-D models or the decoration of boxes. |

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 range from seven years to eighty plus.
The Guild holds an annual display of work in the UK and organises an International Festival of Quilling every five years.
Representatives 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 Work, to which all members and the General Public are welcome. At the same time there's the Guild's annual AGM. Please click on the AGM button to read more.
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. To see them this year, you should come to Otford, in Kent on Saturday, September 19th. The displays are open for viewing during the afternoon (see AGM news, below).
An example from the 2008 Display's quillings on the CD, this lovely piece was made by Beth Henderson,
Happy Quilling!.
To have YOUR OWN COPY of many pictures from the 2008 display is easy!
