Lacemaking: Tantalising Torchon - Crafts & Textiles weekend at Farncombe Estate

Have you ever thought about the myriad possibilities for exciting lacemaking offered by our old friend Torchon? What other lace has over 14 varieties of just one stitch? Over this weekend Jan will lead you in an exploration of this neglected lace type. We will look at the stitches, the use of inventive grids, the scale of work, the control of colour and many other aspects of this beautiful lace. Jan will bring along a selection of designs that will enable students of ALL abilities, from complete beginner to advanced, to get the most out of the experience. Equipment can be borrowed if requested before the event. Materials list provided.

Join Jan Gardiner at Farncombe Estate 11-13 February 2011. To book online visit
