A friend of mine wants to get together with a few people who are working on Bruges lace to form an online study group. Even one person would be great as an accountability partner. Is there anyone working on Bruges who might want to connect with her? It would not suit a raw beginner or someone wh

Yes, they all say that is going to be a wonderful lace-event in Belgium, but no-one tells anything about the price and as far as know Belgium is not a cheap country ...

Susan I have always thought that a student can start in any one of 3 places: torchon, tape lace, or Beds/Cluny. And it doesn't matter which one comes first. I also think that every beginner should plan on doing a little of all those 3 within the first 2 years. That collection of laces gives most of
