Quilling Meets Creativity in Potch - 31 May

It turns out that quilling, the art of rolling little bits of paper into curly masterpieces, isn’t just for Victorian greeting cards or craft-store Pinterest boards. It’s alive and well in Potchefstroom, where My Creative Fix is hosting a Quilling & Paper Art Workshop that promises a couple hours of therapeutic twisting, laughing, and maybe even a bit of creative chaos.

The Details (Because You Need Them)

• Date: Saturday, 31 May 2025

• Time: 14:00 – 16:00

• Venue: 9 Reitz Street, Baillie Park, Potchefstroom

• Cost: R300 per person

• Booking Site: mycreativefix.co.za

You don’t need any prior experience, just a willingness to try, a bit of patience, and the ability to sip coffee without gluing your fingers together.

What You'll Be Doing (Other Than Laughing at Your First Attempts)

This two-hour workshop is led by the ever-enthusiastic Cheryl and Leanne, who’ll walk you through the basics of quilling, how to roll, twist and shape paper strips like a boss. Once you’ve mastered the curly-wurly magic, you’ll turn your paper wizardry into a 3D monogram that’s as unique as your playlist.

And yes, the end product is gift-worthy. Think: fancy initials surrounded by flowers, flourishes, and a whole lot of personality.

What’s Included?

• All materials (paper, tools, and a frame, stylish, of course)

• A hands-on, step-by-step lesson

• Tea, coffee, and basic refreshments (because crafting is thirsty work)

• A good laugh or two, guaranteed

Why Join?

Honestly, because it’s something different. It’s screen-free, chill, and you walk away with a one-of-a-kind piece you actually made. That’s more than you can say for most Saturday afternoons.

Also, you don’t have to bring a thing, except maybe a mate, or your creative mojo.

Come for the curls, stay for the coffee.
