GCL Member Donna Van Wagenen teaches beginner lacemaking by appointment. Please submit an inquiry through the form below if you would like to schedule a class.

GCL Members can borrow everything they need to get started for a $75 deposit (Check payable to GCL). At the end of a six month trial period, you will have the option to return the equipment to receive your deposit back, or keep it.

This get together contains information on all equipment and its use to work bobbin lace. It helps you to prepare to make lace followed by two samplers. In the samplers, you will learn how to begin, the stitches used, hanging bobbins to start, working through a passive pair to the footside and a simple outer edge.

This class is free, but you must be a member of GCL and either provide your own equipment or borrow from GCL.

This two day program is a continuation of the Basic Bobbin Lace I. More emphasis will be placed on reading diagrams, starts and finishes, broken thread solutions, pivot pins, plus other pin terms, magic threads, crossings and gimp use. We will have smaller groups for these basics two day gatherings.
