About this course

Within this course you will start your story into Bobbin Lace Making, a heritage craft with a rich and long history; dating from the 1500’s. Within the course you will gain experience of the equipment and look at different styles of Bobbin Lace from around the world. Bobbin Lace is a multiple thread craft – like macrame, so if you enjoyed macrame and want to try something similar, try this short course.

Over the course you will learn the background of the two stitches used in Bobbin Lace, and how to combine these to make difference effects. These samples can be created into bookmarks or a brooch, to show off your craft skills. Suitable for all – no previous craft experience required.

This course will concentrate on Tape/Braid Bobbin Lace, which can be suitable for those with no previous knowledge but if you have previous knowledge then the tutor will develop an individual plan that meets your aims to develop your lacemaking skills within this style of Bobbin Lace; so please get in contact and start your lace making journey.

Over the course, you will be introduced to the equipment in bobbin lace and given links to alternative uses, such as paper wrap bobbins or pegs. You will get a brief look at the history of bobbin lace and some of the styles that are found in the UK and the world, and the different styles of bobbins and equipment. You will have practical experience of making bobbin lace and the stitches used in all bobbin lace making.

Equipment can be used in class from the tutor, but if learners have lacemaking equipment, please bring it along.
