Learn to quill
Want to learn from an experienced quiller?
Are you looking to arrange a quilling demonstration or workshop for members of a group?
Would you like to organise a 'make and take' quilling activity at a festival or special event?
If so, we have several members who may be willing to assist you. Their names, regional locations and contact details are listed below.
To make an enquiry, please contact any of the following Quilling Guild members direct using the email links/telephone numbers provided. All demonstration/tuition fees and reimbursements for expenses must be negotiated directly with the members concerned.
You will see that some of the members listed below have the letters 'QGA' after their names. This signifies that they are Accredited Members of The Quilling Guild, whose standard of quilling has satisfied a panel of assessors as being sufficiently high in technical skill to attain recognition under our highly-respected Accreditation Scheme.
Please note, however, that entry to the Accreditation Scheme is optional, so the absence of a 'QGA' rating may simply indicate that the quilling skills of the individuals concerned have not been formally assessed.
As a Guild, we are unable to undertake any assessment of our members' teaching skills. When contacting any of the members on this list, therefore, you should always make sufficient enquiries to satisfy yourself about an individual's suitability for a particular booking. Please note also that any members whose services you engage resulting from the information on this page will be acting for you in a private capacity and not in the name of The Quilling Guild. The Guild cannot, therefore, be held responsible for any actions or omissions on their part.
Please be sure to check back on this page regularly, as we hope to be adding more names to the following list very soon ...
