Come to Lex Center for Creative Reuse and learn bobbin lace!
Bobbin lace is a beautiful and intricate form of lacemaking originating from 16th century Italy. This technique involves the twisting and interlocking of threads attached to small cylindrical weights called bobbins. In this two-part class, Stacy Faraci will guide students through the very beginning skills of bobbin lace, working towards a beautiful finished project. Both classes are included in the ticket price and are necessary to gain the skills of the class.
All materials will be provided, and students may keep a set of bobbins as a part of the ticket price.
