Thanks for your comment Madeleine. I’m getting back into it so will be thinking of classes again. Thank you for your offer of ideas.

I was introduced to quilling at a young age (around seven, I believe) through my school. I (and everyone else in my class) enjoyed it tremendously-we were given some basic instruction in shapes and techniques, and then set to work with a very loose assignment: create sea creatures. We turned out fish, scallops, squids, jellyfish, seahorses, and one daring student made a whale Even now, some thirteen years later, I can’t get enough of it, and it’s a large section of the elementary ASAP (after school arts program) that I teach during the fall. The kids always love it, and I’m continually amazed at how creative and ambitious such young students can be! I say full speed ahead, and good luck.

P.S. I noticed that space was an issue. Oftentimes, if the weather is temperate, we’ll work outdoors with small ‘lapboards’ that the kiddos can lay across their knees and use as a desk (or, sometimes, they like to lie on their bellies with the boards in front of them). I’ve even had the kids ask if we could use them indoors, if it’s raining or cold, so we move the furniture out to the edges of the room, sit in a circle, and use our lapboards in there. If you’d like, email me (notimeforspaces7@aol.com), and I can send you my kid-friendly patterns and curriculum ideas

They go up, don’t they? They were following the picture in the pattern (not my own pattern )
Oh goodie – I have a potential student!! Still working on the logistics of classes… our house is kind of small

And just to add yet another comment… on seeing Amy’s fish, the younger child here just expressed an interest in learning how to quill.

By the way, do your girls know that bubbles generally go up?
