Introduction to bobbin lace with Kath Brandle
If you are a complete beginner, this half day workshop will have you making a bookmark ‘snake’. You will learn whole stitch, a winkie pin edge, adding twists to give shaping and create holes, and a simple method of finishing at a point. All equipment will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own if you have any.
More experienced lacemakers are welcome to bring their own projects for advice and guidance.
