sadly when Christine and David were wanting to sell their business, no one was willing to 'buy' the English Lace College so it no longer exists. No more lovely weekends making lace with other pupils with the best teachers available in a delightful atmosphere of work and fun. Very sad.

Christine and David Springett used to have a lace supplier business. She
also designed patterns and taught, and he also turned bobbins. They ran a
lace school (English Lace College, or something like that) and made videos,
too.
A few years ago, they sold off the lace supplier business, to ____ and
Jeremy Fountain. So the lace suppliers are now the Fountains, but they
carry David's bobbins, Christine's patterns, and their videos. As far as I
know, the lace school is still going.
So "Fountains" refers to the suppliers, and "Springett" refers to products
made by Christine and David.

Can anyone explain who/what Springetts and Fountains are? I was told that
Fountains used to be called Springetts, and I notice they still sell kits
labelled Springetts. Yet the leaflets for Havant and the NEC list "C & D
Springett", not Fountains. I assume this is Christine and David Springett
who have written several lace books. Are they the same as Fountains?
