Introduction to Bobbin Lace

Instructor: Beth Parkes

Bobbin lace is a handmade lacemaking technique that involves twisting and braiding threads wound onto bobbins to create a pattern. This class is designed to introduce students to the delight of making bobbin lace (also known as pillow lace). Students will learn the basic stitches of Torchon bobbin lace: cloth, half, and whole stitch. Projects to choose from are a simple bookmark, a bracelet, or a lace flower.  Students with previous experience are also welcome to join the class to renew their skills.
