Summer Workshop - Tatted Lace: What it is and what it is knot
During this workshop you will learn the introduction to the history of lace. Starting from the knotted lace in the 17th Century to the woven styles of lace found today. Students will complete this workshop with a knowledge and appreciation for the history of the classic artform. Multiple technique examples will be shown and discussed.
You will learn the basics of needle lace, bobbin lace and shuttle lace. The emphasis of the hands-on workshop will be needle tatting due to the ease of immediate production. It also lends to an easier transition for future techniques if desired by the students. After the class, students will have a piece of lace that they created as well as some ideas for future uses in their design.
Supplies are included.
