Self Teach

Many a lacemaker has taught herself to make lace, with the help of a beginner's text.  You can do it!

"Introduction to Bobbin Lacemaking" by Rosemary Shepherd is an excellent text.  It is based on a correspondence course she wrote when the lace guild started in Australia, and so is designed for self-teaching. 

You can obtain the book from Rosemary or from Rochelle Sutherland who keeps lacemaking requirements.

This book is also available in our library, along with self-teaching DVDs.
