Learn an ancient form of textile art at Beginning Bobbin Lace
on Tuesdays, May 12, 19 & 26 from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. in The Studio.
With all of the resources that connect lacemakers across the world,
there’s never been a better time to learn how to bobbin lace!
Instructor Robin Bagwell will lead this hands-on class,
teaching how to cross and twist as well as how to follow pattern.
Students will get the feel of moving bobbins and seeing various patterns
develop as they learn the half stitch, cloth stitch and whole stitch.
Written instructions will allow participants to continue their bobbin lace at home.
