The Cal Poly Pomona Downtown Center is presenting a workshop and demonstration of the ancient Renaissance art of quilling on Saturday, Feb. 5, at 3:45 p.m. Ruth Brown, an artist and resident of Claremont's Pilgrim's Place, will lead the event.
Quilling is the art of rolling and folding thin strips of paper. The paper is put together to form representational pictures and scenes, or can be formed into shapes, such as stars, hearts and snowflakes. The resulting art is intricate and looks much like lace.
The demonstration will take place at 3:45 p.m. followed by a workshop for all ages at 4 p.m. Cost to attend the workshop is $10 and includes basic materials for the class.
The Cal Poly Pomona Downtown Center is located at 300 W. Second St. in Pomona. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 6 p.m. For more information about the Downtown Center or to RSVP for the quilling workshop, contact Cybele Garcia at (909) 469-0080.
