You could take the train from SF out to Berkely and visit the Lacis showrooms and museum. http://lacismuseum.org/
I did it years ago but got there before they opened and had to hang around for about an hour. Check out the times on the website. I also turned the wrong way out of the station (before the days of Mapquest) and thought I had arrived but it turned out to be the offices, not the shop. If anyone knows about any redwood bobbins please reply to the list. I am not sure if all redwood trees are protected by law, in which case, that might be a reason I haven't seen any.

We are planning to be in San Francisco in mid-late July, and want to see what we can of Northern California. Given that it's going to be holiday time in the USA, will we be able to meet up with any lacemakers in the area? The Sunnyvale Lace Museum will be a definite place to visit, but other recommendations would be very welcome. We would like to see something of the "gold country" around Sacramento, and also to have a look at a redwood or two! (Does anyone make lace bobbins from redwood?) If you could help with suggestions, please do contact me off-list... Thanks!
