Quilling with Jane: A Regency-Inspired Craft Celebration

Beginner Paper Quilling: Celebrate Jane Austen’s 250th Birthday!

Join us at Lakeshore Library for a delightful beginner-level paper quilling workshop in honor of Jane Austen’s 250th birthday! Paper quilling is the art of rolling, shaping, and gluing thin strips of paper into beautiful designs — perfect for anyone new to this charming craft.

In this session, you’ll learn the basics of paper quilling, from creating tight coils and loose scrolls to forming elegant petals and leaves. Using simple shapes and pastel colors inspired by the Regency era, we’ll craft quilled motifs that reflect the graceful beauty of Jane Austen’s world — think delicate florals, swirling vines, and classic ornamental details reminiscent of the elegance found in her timeless novels.

No experience is needed — all materials will be provided along with step-by-step guidance. Whether you’re a fan of Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, or simply looking for a creative way to celebrate with friends and family, this workshop offers a lovely blend of art, literature, and community.

Come quill, create, and celebrate Jane Austen with us at Lakeshore Library!
