Program Description

Event Description

Come join us as we turn simple-looking paper strips into beautiful art by paper quilling. Paper quilling involves rolling, looping, curling and shaping paper strips and then combining them to create designs. 

This quarterly program is for all quillers- beginners, experienced, or somewhere in between. We will have tools & supplies, along with a simple project so you can learn the basics or grow as a quiller. If you do have your own tools and supplies, please bring them

This program is most suitable for teens and adults due to the content and materials we will use. Please make arrangements for younger children so you can relax and enjoy your time with us. 

Registration is required so we know how many to expect. Please register each participant individually. 

This month, you will learn about five women from Oklahoma, Yvonne Chouteau, Maria Tallchief, Marjorie Tallchief, Rosella Hightower and Moscelyne Larkin, who broke barriers and made significant contributions to the world of ballet, becoming cultural icons and ambassadors for their Native American heritage. Then you will will have the opportunity to quill a colorful skirt for a beautiful ballerina!
