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

I can name a good long distance teacher - Janet in Bridlington. I remember
when she first saw my spiders. Her comment was that is lovely - they are
different from ours. After pressing her to explain, she said we do them
differently and then showed me how she was taught. Light
My first lace teacher in 1994, was a very bad one.
After 2 lessons myself and and elderly woman decided to try and teach
ourselves.
She gave up, I muddled for a while and gave up until about 2005-6, when
after having been made redundant from one job, I had time on my hands. I was
lucky to find
Dear All:
I have a pillow that a very kind lady helped me get started on repairing
broken threads... I'm probably just in denial/looking for excuses but I'll
be in Gettysburg PA Friday and Sat (Families weekend at Gettysburg with
my daughter).
She'd be very grateful if I had a reason to leave
To all,
I forgot to include Liz in Australia, Janice, in IL and all the others at
Lace Convention that were so patient with me. There are too many to name.

Thank you Agnes. I am now blushing. Seriously though, my aim is to help
people learn lace the best way I can. If I explain something and the student
doesn't understand what I have said then I rephrase it. But I like to
demonstrate as well as describe.
My favourite teacher has to be Alex
For needlelace, Carol Williamson Isle of Man, who doesn't now teach as far as I
know and, of course, Cathy Barley whose lace is absolutely amazing.

I'm self taught from a book - Rosemary Shepherd's Introduction to Bobbin
Lacemaking which is based on the correspondence lessons she wrote for the
Australian Lace Guild. When you live in a small country town in Australia,
there's no other option. The book is still available from Rosemary
The 2 good teaching books that I could not have managed without were firstly -
my bible when I first started learning lace The Technique of Bobbin Lace by
Pamela Nottingham and later a Visual Introduction to Bucks Point Lace by
Geraldine Stott those 2 gave me an excellent grounding to lace
I have been incredibly fortunate to have studied with many excellent teachers!
Sheila Wells introduced me to Honiton lace at IOLI Convention in Bethesda in
1999. At the same convention, I met Louise Colgan, who taught a great
mini-class in understanding threads, their fibers and sizes, and
Hi All,
My first weeklong lacemaking course was taught by Gail Young, who at that
time also ran Trilliim Lace. She was great, and let us progress at the
speed that was appropriate for each student. This allowed some of us who
were extremely keen to really move ahead in that week. Josee Poupart
