General Description:
We are pleased to announce the establishment of a similar group for
bobbin lace makers. Lacis has always been a known as a place to find
threads, patterns, books, bobbins, and all the little tools
that keep lace-makers. Our bobbin lace classes with the charming
and talented Maria Jose Munoz have produced lots of new bobbin lacers
who are clamoring for lace-making camaraderie, and Maria has graciously
agreed to host a monthly meeting, on the third Saturday of every month
from 1 to 3 at the museum. Bobbin lace is a continual learning
experience and a skill that takes lots of practice. Hopefully these
monthly sessions will encourage the pursuit of one of the most
beautiful of all lace techniques. Bring along your pillow, bobbins, and
enthusiasm and join in the fun! The first meeting will take place on
Saturday, June 21.
Skill Level:
The group
is open to anyone who wants to work bobbin lace. If you are a timid
beginner,
we will encourage you, if you are an accomplished lace artist, we will
be very happy to learn from you, and no matter what your skill level,
we will offer encouragement, appreciation, and companionship.
Materials List:
Bring
along any project you want to work. If you need
supplies, we'll be happy to offer advice, and the Museum shop carries
of range of threads, bobbins, pins, pattern books, and accessories.
Drop by and see our wonderful new German patterns from Verlag fuer die
Frau.
