Tatting workshop

Tatting is a form of lace making, using a shuttle to form knots, rather than the traditional lace makers' pillows and bobbins. It is thought to have derived from the knots that sailors used on their thick warps, and these were quickly adapted by the lacemakers, using fine cotton, to provide edgings for garments, making the garment trade more lucrative because of the beautiful decorations. During the course you will learn the basic stitches, and how to make rings and joining chains, then work from a pattern making a small motif.
