Learn the heritage craft of bobbin lace- making. Traditional handmade lace was fashionable from the 16th century particularly in Europe. Lace is made by braiding and twisting lengths of thread which have been wound onto ‘bobbins’. The different ways of weaving the bobbins can create a plethora of delicate patterns in a range of colours.

In a series of three 2-hour intermediate workshops you will:

• learn how to wind bobbins
• understand prickings, pillows and threads
• learn about ‘spangled’ bobbins
• learn 2 more basic stitches
• learn how to add beads
• make a lace picture or frame
  

The cost of the workshop is $250 including all materials with the option of purchasing your own lace making starter kit at an additional cost of $90. You may also opt to rent a kit for the 3 lessons for a refundable deposit of $7

The Dorset Button is a specific type of button which was first made in the county of Dorset in the United Kingdom in the 17th century. They were originally made using
the trimmed horns of sheep, which were cut into thin discs, around which threads and old fabric were wound. It has now become a British heritage craft but is very much alive today using contemporary materials for a variety of uses. 

In this 2-hour workshop, you will learn how to make 2 buttons - the traditional Dorset ‘Cartwheel’ 
Button and a pretty floral Dorset Button

The workshop fee includes all materials with extra to keep.
