Spreading the love for quilling

At Paper N Quill we believe that quilling is an art/craft for everybody regardless your age and gender (thus our slogan 'Everyone can quill'). We work towards introducing this lovely, easy and fun (plus relatively inexpensive) art to our local community here in Kuching. Perhaps it is for this good intention that we were given opportunities by our local media to talk and share about the art of quilling.

Our first appearance to intro about quilling was with Red Fm 91.9. We did a live interview on air in Mandarin about the brief history of quilling, basic tools needed and also Paper N Quill's quilling story. It was an enjoyable one hour interview with the DJ Celine. In fact it's more like a merry chat between friends ^_^

Our second appearance was on local newspaper International Times 国际时报 today. We were featured with a full page coverage. The interview was actually conducted weeks ago. We demonstrated how to D.I.Y a simple flower pattern as well as sharing on the history and applications of quilling in daily life. The article was written in a clear and easy-to-understand manner with lots of colourful pictures. Special credits go to the author/reporter Hui Meng. ^_^
