OK Devon, you left my name off the list of traditional needlelace teachers is the 2012 Alençon class already forgotten? The one where we used all the traditional equipment and threads all the stuff I learned as a student in Alençon? And the subsequent Needlelace Practicum? Unfortunately I had to cancel the Belgian needlelace class last year, but we would have been studying 18th c techniques.
Im writing write my first article for the IOLI bulletin as the new Needlelace Editor, and Im going very hard at the traditional techniques. The subject of the first article will be hand position. Im taking no quarter here, this will be a very rigorous series of articles. I have so much I want to say the field of modern needlelace has forgotten so much of what made this lace a viable commercial product, in its very finest form. Ive been studying the subject for well over 30 years, so dont be surprised at what you will read!
