I am to some degree self-taught, starting with the Introduction to Torchon
Lace to get the basics. Mistakes in that book, however, so I'm not sure I'd
recommend it to anyone who is not rather analytical and can work through the
mistakes. Then on to Bucks and Binche, and now old
Sorry, for the book I mentioned I had the wrong title--it was The Torchon
Lace Workbook by Bridget Cook.

I was lucky enough to start my lace-making life with Nena Lovesey. She lent
me bobbins and a pillow and started me off on Torchon lace. I couldn't
attend a regular class, but saw Nena quite often, and learned so much from
her, not only about making lace but about its history. I carried on on my
Good teachers abound, actually. Too many to really be listed. There are some
rotten apples, but they are few, and word gets around. And even good
teachers are not necessarily a good fit for all students. Good teachers can
have bad days. You can learn something from everyone. Some more
Dear Lyn,
On numerous occasions I've tried to reply to your emails privately
but your server won't let me.
Tonight I tried to send you some pictures of the Poppies. Alas they
were returned. Can't you possibly change this set up?

Hi Arachnids,
That is as appalling as some of the students in my class who had a previous
teacher who would never show or teach them how to start or finish a piece
nor how to turn a corner (she used to take their pillow home with her and
did it for them to help them). She also put them
Thank your husband for doing that. I gave it a dry run and found it works. It
will come in handy for us all at sometime in the future.

A couple of points have occurred to me while reading this subject. Firstly,
not every teacher will click with every student. Some students will learn
better from one teacher than from another.
The second point is that some teachers are not so good at teaching the
techniques of lace-making, but
I am also very appreciative of his work! Quite a few years ago, I was trying
to learn Flanders with J.E.H. Rombach-de Kievid's Flandrische Spitze (German
edition). My German-English dictionary was not much help. But, our next-door
neighbors at the time seemed to be a perfect resource! He
When I started learning from a book after a visit to England where both my mum
and Jacquie had started. I bought 6 pairs of bobbins and started with the
lessons in Golden Hands. When I'd been working on my own for some weeks I
heard about a class in my own town with a teacher from Toronto. When
I just sent a message on my tablet with the incoming message still attached.
I haven't found out how to delete it, but I'm working on mastering this thing

To follow the discussion I had 2 brilliant bobbin lace teachers.
I started lace when I was 26 years old and a very new Mum. Jenny Fisher
was my first teacher, quite demanding and exacting but I learnt the
basics when I couldn't get to regular classes, she had private classes
for me (and my
Hello All! Others have named good teachers I've been fortunate to be on the
receiving end in their classes. So Bravo--keep up the good work! However, I'd
like to make a point using my embroidery experiences. There are some wonderful
embroiderers ( lacemakers!) out there. They are quick to
