<p id="isPasted" fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">A standalone 10-week course - 2 hours per week online with daytime and evening options - that will introduce you to the materials, tools, and techniques used in quilling and to Craft4Smiles C.I.C and our tutors. &nbsp; At the end of each session you will have a lovely quilled item to show family and friends or to display on your shelf! You will be told about the other courses we offer so that you can make an informed choice about further learning. Participants in this course often move on to our Introduction to Paper Craft and Mixed Media Course that will introduce you to the basic materials, tools, equipment and techniques used. Experience has shown us that participants for whom English is not their first language, have found that quilling has helped them improve their understanding and spoken English as there is a lot of repetition of basic terms including numbers, colours and directions. Working with someon for whom English is their first language is also helpful.&nbsp;</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Programme</strong></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Week 1: Basic Shapes (1)</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Week 2: Basic Shapes and Use of a Quilling Comb (2)&nbsp;</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Week 3: Flower and Butterfly: Picture 8&rdquo; x 10&rdquo;</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Week 4: Making a Shape to Hold Quilled Pieces: Capital Letter</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Week 6: Basket of Flowers</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Week 7: Cherry Blossom Box</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Week 8: 2 x 5&rdquo; x 7&rdquo; Pictures: Duck and Boat</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Week 11: Pot of Lavender (1)&nbsp;</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Week 10: Pot of Lavender (2)</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">You will receive all the materials and items of equipment needed to complete the course.
