The problem with figuring out whom to put on your wish list of teachers is that there are 3 criteria, and the likelihood of having one person at the top of all those criteria is, for me at least, small. Do you want to learn what that teacher teaches? My interest in modern lace, or designing my own is really small. Do I like the teacher? Does the teacher like me? Sometimes there are chemical mixes that donât mix. Does the teacher know how to teach? Just because you can make beautiful lace doesnât really mean you know how to transfer that knowledge to another person panilessly. And, in the real world, there is the criteria of convenience. How easy is it for me to get to the class?
That being said, I agree with whoever chose Doris Southard. I learned my first laces from her book, and am so thankful she wrote it, as I didnât meet a lace teacher until 20 years after I had her book. Sorry to enter this discussion late, but we were away, and I hate to write long things on my iPhone.
