Bobbin Lace Banner

Bobbin Lace Class

Saturday, October 13, 2012
Oklahoma History Center

Oklahoma City, OK

 

The History Center will host a Bobbin Lace class with Lacemakers Guild of Oklahoma on October 13, 2012. The guild will provide 2-3 members to assist with the hands-on portion of the class.  

 

The class will introduce students to the art of bobbin lacemaking and guide them through a bobbin lace project. This project will teach students a number of important techniques that can later be used in other projects including doilies, bookmarks, framed artwork, and garment embellishment. No prior experience is required.

Bobbin lace is a lacemaking technique that uses bobbins to control the threads as the lacemaker weaves and ties them into intricate designs. Bobbin lacemaking is a fascinating historic art that dates back to the 16th century. It requires the lacemaker to use both hands.

 

The class will run from 1pm - 4pm and registration is required.  The registration fee for the class is $15 and includes all materials. Class size is limited to provide one-on-one instruction.

 

For more information or to register, please contact Leah Craig at lcraig@okhistory.org or by phone at (405) 522-0793.

The Importance of History...
 

History is a kind of introduction to more interesting people than we can possibly meet in our restricted lives; let us not neglect the opportunity.
