ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: Native to the Washington DC metro, paper artist Ashley Chiang folds, sculpts, and coils paper into intricate 3-dimensional designs. Taking a unique spin on the old art of Quilling, she combines the traditional coiling of thin paper strips with a more graphic approach, using larger paper swaths and shapes. Her intentional use of very few simplistic tools (only scissors, tweezers and glue) directly contradicts her imaginative, detailed work. Her artwork has been juried into galleries and shows nationwide and former commercial clients include the Rainforest Alliance, Domtar, Veritiv and Marshalls.

All attendees will receive 10% off any day-of Steadfast Supply purchase :)
