We still have some space on the design courses which I am hosting here in
Northfield, Illinois. Jane Atkinson is coming all the way from England to
teach here and in PA (see Tina's earlier email for info) in March. Having
lived here for over 6 years now, I will act as translator! Grin!!!
Jane is a fascinating teacher, who has specialized in teaching lace design.
She uses mainly basic Torchon stitches, but the ability to twist and cross
are the only skills you would need, and you could, of course, use any
stitches you liked. You will be inspired to think in different ways, and
find that designing is not as scary as you think!
I am hosting two classes - one on Wednesday 22nd March to design a
personalized shaped grid to make a necklace; and the second over the
following weekend (2 or 3 days) called "Round and Round in Circles" will
help us to design on a polar gird. We will be inspired by photos and objects
we bring, and by working with colored tissue paper to make paper cuts, stamp
pads and simple stamps, Spirograph, French curves and I'm sure all sorts of
other ideas I haven't yet heard of.
Jane has published a book and written many articles for magazines such as
"Lace" and "Lace Express". She has just updated her website (completed
today) so do go and have a look. It is fascinating and shows many pictures
of her work on necklaces and circles ( amongst other things)
Contact me for full details of times and place and cost etc. We are a very
friendly group of people and look forward to meeting some of you! Come and
play and create your own design!
