> > 1. Who taught you to make lace? My first teacher was a woman who, unfortunately, died young of cancer. I attended lessons with her at a private institute and then moved on to Government-run evening classes, but still with her as teacher. The woman I can credit with teaching me most of what I know today is Mrs Edith Grech. I have been attending lessons with her for about seventeen years, and have never looked back. She is an excellent teacher as she explains the âwhyâ to everything.
