LACE!

[chindora]

I have been trying to find bobbin lace classes for a while. My recent trip back to the States resulted in my mother-in-law giving me a bobbin lace book, which again prompted me to redouble my efforts to find someone to teach me lace making. After some investigation, I found that they had classes scheduled last year in Wadebridge at an adult learning center, but there was not enough interest so the classes never materialized. Needless to say they are not even bothering to schedule classes this year. I called the school and gave them my contact info to pass along to the lace teacher and she just called me back! I am so excited! She sounded very surprised that I was so interested, and she was positively glowing when I told her she would have two students. Arilyn of course cannot wait for the classes to start! We are going to be driving about an hour to her house, where she will work with us once a week. She is starting us with torchon lace, which is primarily geometric, as she believes that this will best teach us the basics of working with the bobbins. Speaking of bobbins, she is going to loan us everything we need to get started, bobbins, pillows, everything, and if we like it as much as we think we will she can sell us supplies.

Am I tickled PINK?

You bet!!!
