Metal Quilling

One of our most effective techniques is Metal Quilling, a meticulous process that involves cutting a metal into thin strips and subsequently rolling, twisting, and shaping these strips. The formed metal pieces, often coils, are then arranged on a surface to create specific artistic patterns. Subsequently, the pieces are joined and fused together using a specialized soldering compound.Historians concur that quilling is an ancient art form that originated in ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Etruscans. The discovery of jewelry pieces adorned with quilling in the tombs of various ancient civilizations further supports this notion.

Due to the prohibitive cost of using precious metals, paper quilling emerged as an economical alternative to expensive metal quilling during the Renaissance. French and Italian nuns and monks were instrumental in developing this technique.
