Hi All, We are very lucky to have another couple of residential colleges in this eastern area of the UK.
The first is Belstead House, near Ipswich, Suffolk in the UK - residential courses of all sorts, with the lace courses by tutors such as Geraldine Stott and Sue Webb - both make the learning process very painless, and students are amazed at what they can turn out! I think Roz Snowden has also taught, but that I am *not* sure of. The college is set in lovely grounds, and is well-worth a visit. There are also "Go-It-Alone" weekends, where one takes ones lace, and with no tutor but with like-minded people can make lace all day - and all night too, if the urge takes you. No tutor, but lots of people to give help and encouragement. The food is wonderful, and the rooms are mainly single rooms, with washbasin, desk and chair, and lights! The other is Maryland College, near Dunstable in Bedfordshire UK. I only went there once (mainly as Belstead is just down the road from me!) but when I was there, Pamela Nottingham and Jean Millar were tutors. Again, lovely grounds, but I didn't think the accommodation/food quite as good as Belstead. But - if it means one can make lace in comford for a long weekend, with all meals etc provided, that can't be bad, can it. If anyone wants any more info, just eMail me, and I'll try to help - the usual disclaimers, no financial gain, just a *very* satisfied customer.
