Want to add another craft to the already long list of crafts you do? Come and try having a go at bobbin lacemaking. This craft is endangered now but there are many places where lace was a cottage industry for the dressmaking and millinery professions. Lacemaking hubs often had their own style of lace that survives to this day (Bucks, Honiton, Northampton, Bedford). In this workshop you will make a simple Torchon lace bookmark using cloth stitch. This workshop will cover setting up the bobbins on the lace pillow, the basics of cloth stitch, following a lace pattern, setting up a tramline, working at the edges of the lace and finishing off, This workshop is suitable for teenagers and adults. Attending the workshop is free, but if you'd like to take the kit home you can pay £5 to keep it. If you choose to purchase the whole kit, you’ll be able to take home the following: - 1 lace pillow - 22 threaded, spangled lace bobbins - Stitch holder or elastic - Cover cloth - Container for bobbins - Bag to hold lace pillow - Pin pusher - 0.2mm crochet hook - Pins
