Hello Clay and everyone else
Clay you hit the nail on the head when you said you could possibly
show a beginner how to make lace.
Of course any of us can do that and it would keep the craft of lace alive if
each of us only ever taught one new lacemaker.
The rewards are tremendous, and I`m sure you could go on to teach more
beginners.I have my own group here in Norwich UK where I started to teach
beginners. After nine years those beginners are now really good lacemakers and
although I teach beginners as well I am proud of my other ladies.
Something I was told on holiday this year.
We holidayed in the Scarborough area of North Yorkshire. One day we had a
look around Thornton de dale when I spotted a craft shop. In I went expecting
to see some lovely things and I was disappointed because other than clothes
and tourist stuff the only craft was cardmaking. The lady came bustling over
and said I have all my Christmas stock in, so have a good look.
I said the only cards I make are lace ones. The lady said Lace Oh!!!!
She went quiet for a few minutes then she said Oh so you are not into crafts
then???
Calmly I said lets put it this way, my lacemaking is a craft!!!!!
Funnily enough she did`nt speak to me after that.
