UPCOMING PROGRAMS:
POLLY HANSEN – Quilled Gift Tag Make and Take
A hands-on mini-class exploring this fascinating paper fiber process
MONDAY, JULY 11 at the Garden Center
In July we will have a mini teach by our own Polly Hansen.
Polly is known for taking strips of paper and curling them into art – quilling.
Polly will guide us through various techniques resulting in art we can use or present in various ways.
you will have several ways to participate in the Quilled Gift Tag Make and Take with Polly which will follow the Business Meeting.
- First, you may just want to stay and watch. Polly will have a PowerPoint presentation that shows all the steps as well as a handout on the process. You can see what others do and decide if it’s something that you might want to try later.
- Second, you can participate a bit by sharing one of the quilling kits that Polly is generously providing. You can get a taste of the process and see what quilling all is about.
- Third, you can bring your own quilling materials. Here is the supply list. It’s very comprehensive.
- Finally, if you want to go full-tilt boogie, you can reserve and purchase a kit of your own from Polly for just $12. The kits include quilling paper, a slotted quilling tool, a dedicated quilling template board and fine tip tweezers. It’s yours to take home. You will need to email Polly at least three days before the meeting to reserve a kit. pbhansen@runbox.com
Please note: This will be an in-person meeting without a live Zoom component. Since members will be doing detailed artwork at tables, Zoom would not be a useful way to participate and could be a distraction to the teacher. We will record the meeting and make it available for viewing after the meeting. Rest assured, though, that when we have out-of-town presenters and special events, we will make a Zoom link available! So come in person if you can.
About Polly:
Since the mid 1990’s, Polly’s main creative outlet was stamping greeting cards. As her interest
grew, she sought new ways to embellish her cards which included quilling. After retiring from
her radiology practice in 2018, Polly dedicated more time to quilling. Books and various sources
such as Pinterest led to more elaborate 2D and 3D designs. One of Polly’s 2D was published in
the American Journal of Neuroradiology in 2021. Her 3D sculpture of a hummingbird and
columbine flowers was selected for the 92 nd Annual San Antonio Art League and Museum Artists
Exhibition in 2022. Polly’s art is also featured on our website – The Samurai Soldier.
Polly joined the Fiber Artists of San Antonio (FASA) in 2019 after learning FASA considered
paper a fiber. She is also a member of the North American Quilling Guild. Polly’s other
interests include gardening, Texas native plants, and wildlife, particularly pollinators. Many of
her designs are related to flowers, butterflies, or birds.
