HI fellow arachne members!
I'd like to introduce myself and end my lurking! I'm Trish Fisher and I've
been making bobbin lace for over 20 years. My first teachers were Linda Dunn
and Michael Guisana from whom I took two weekend lace classes that took place
a year appart. I worked for many years teaching myself from books that the
main library in Charleston has on their shelves. (I was VERY lucky!) After
about 7 or 8 years on my own I attended the Augusta Heritage Workshops (look
up their website if you like crafts, music, singing and/or dancing!) that take
place each summer on the campus of Davis & Elkins College in Elkins, WV where
my teacher was Carl Newman. A whole week of making lace from 9am to 9pm (our
choice), wonderful concerts and LOTS of nice people and LOTS of laughs! I took
classes for many years with Carl and after he stopped teaching there I taught
lacemaking there too. Only one year and only one student but it was a good
learning expierence for me. Not sure how my student like it as she left a day
early!!!
Still the lone lacemaker in these parts of the state, at least as far as I
know. Been doing a lot of quilting, sewing and other crafts but joining
arachne has given me hope that when my current stab at Spring cleaning is done
I will get back to my bobbins!
Wish the internet and email had been around 20 years ago!
