Milton Arts Guild sets seasonal quilling classes Oct. 1-2

Milton Arts Guild will offer its popular holiday-themed quilling class again this year in preparation for the Christmas season.

Quilling a Snowflake with Jenn Johnson will lead students through the art of rolling paper to make Christmas ornaments. Due to popular demand, two separate sessions are planned for Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 1 and 2, both at 4 p.m., at the gallery at 107 Federal St., Milton. No prior art experience is necessary.

Quilling is an ancient art of rolled, shaped and glued paper around a stiff cylinder that results in unified, decorative designs. The name “quilling” is thought to come from the early origins of using birds’ quills to create the art.

Jenn Johnson is a self-taught artist who specializes in three-dimensional work, including sacred mandala art, paper crafts and light-enhanced pieces. An avid tangle (doodle) artist. Johnson is a member of the Milton Arts Guild and displays her work at shows throughout Sussex County.

Cost is $60. All supplies are included. To register, go to miltonartsguild.org.
