Re: [lace] [Lace] Return to class

There was an article in The Lancet (July 3rd) https://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/laninf/PIIS1473-3099(20)30561-2.pdf Talks about how why the danger of surface transmission is less than was originally thought.

Re: [lace] Re: [Lace] Return to class

Jane, Having the teacher wear one pair of gloves and move from pillow to pillow could theoretically transmit a virus from one student to the next. If the teacher puts on a new pair of gloves each time she approaches another pillow it would be fine. Bear in mind that medical professionals advocate

Nancy, thank you so much for these tips. I'm likely to have a workshop in the next couple of months and have been wondering how to handle it. I agree with ventilation, also as much spacing between students as possible. I think trying to sterilise bobbins a non-starter. Not only because of the

Re: [lace] Return to class

How about a pair of gloves, nitrile, rubber, disposable, by each student, for the teacher's use. No problem with bobbin finishes, and not really that bad for the teacher either, as she would be the only one using the gloves. No cross contamination. Teachers don't actually take over the

Dear Fellow lacemakers and teachers I am planning  how to return to teaching my lace class.  Our venue is reopening in September with cleaning and social distancing regulations all in place. I assume we will all have to be wearing masks. I know I have to come up with my own risk assessment

Re: [lace] Return to class

Can confirm the effects of alcohol on a wood finish. Back in March, I filled up a small spray bottle with rubbing alcohol for disinfecting doorknobs, phone screens and what-have-you, and ended up spilling a bit on the poly-finished kitchen tabletop. I wiped it up immediately, but the finish was

Re: [lace] Return to class

Useful info. Maybe recommend strongly that everyone use plain bobbins, and even bring an extra as a test bobbin. I think mild bleach solutions or other disinfectants are likely to be as rough as alcohol, don't you? What would be a good alternative? On Fri, Aug 14, 2020, 17:35 Adele Shaak wrote:

Sorry, don’t know why that last bit sent. I was just trying to trim the message, and off it went into the ether. Let’s try again: Just wondering - I have seen wiping with an alcohol-dampened cloth take foil straight off of book covers, so personally I’d worry a little bit about the alcohol

Re: [lace] Return to class

Hi Rosemary, I am not a teacher but I've kept up on some of the relative risks, and the effectiveness of some mitigation steps, and perhaps can offer a few suggestions. Transmission via touching surfaces appears to be very rare for this virus. If two things were done, everybody could handle
