Hello! My name is Jolene and I am 26 and brand new to lace making. I recently went to the Fiber Arts Festival in Hemlock, NY where the Genesse Country Lace Guild had a booth set up. They were demonstrating bobbin lacemaking and that was the first time I had ever seen the process. I fell in love immediately!! I attended my first guild meeting last month and I am looking forward to my new adventure into the beautiful world of lace.
I would highly recommend live demonstrations because that is what worked for me! I would also recommend demonstrating to your local art schools. There are a lot of artists who would be excited to see this process. I know I would have loved this while I was in school. I also wanted to let everyone know that you all are doing such a great job thinking of ways to inspire others to get into lacemaking. Even reading your brainstorming e-mails have given me a lot of resources!! Thank you!! P.S. This is my first time responding to these discussions and I hit the "reply to all" button and I am not sure if this is the correct way to do it. Hopefully it works!
