The Arrowhead Library System (ALS) will be providing Paper Quilling Take & Create Art Kits to member public libraries to distribute May 1-31, 2023. This art experience has been designed by the Duluth Folk School. Create anything from animals to flowers, mosaics, or fun patterns that you can make into a card or wall art! Participants will start with colorful, pre-cut paper strips which will be rolled into coils using a quilling tool, then learn how to pinch them into a variety of shapes that can be combined to create a unique design. Kits will be distributed at the following public libraries and ALS outreach locations:
