March 27th Meeting and Workshop

Introduction to Bobbin Lace with Maria Provencher

Maria will be with us for the afternoon after the Guild meeting to give us a taste of bobbin lace making. She will help us with basic bobbin lace stitches to make a simple bookworm. If you have ever been curious about bobbin lace, this is the workshop for you. We will learn a bit of lace history and have a chance to see a multitude of lace samples that Maria will display. She will also cover such basics as the proper way to wind bobbins and at the end we will have a question and answer session. Maria will have pillows and bobbins for us to use during the workshop. She will also have pillow/bobbin sets for sale ($20/set), for those of us who can not avoid the bite of the bobbin lace bug! The fee for this workshop is $30.00 for members and $40.00 for non-members. All Materials will be supplied.

The location of this workshop is SCIART Gallery in Camarillo. If you have any questions, please contact Ginny - furbunny at earthlink dot com
