Course description

This course is for you if you master the basics of bobbin lace making, but want to deepen and expand your skills and learn new, inspiring techniques. On the course, we will explore bobbin lace techniques from different countries and create small lace works that reflect global handicraft traditions. We will make, for example, the Slovenian Idrija and Schneeberg ribbon lace techniques, the fascinating chrysanthemum lace, Russian Vologda ribbon lace, Bryggen flower lace, and techniques from other countries. The course also gives you the opportunity to bring your work to life by creating backings for them using silk painting technique. No prior experience with this technique is required. This part of the course gives you the chance to express your creativity and make each of your lace works a unique piece. You can freely choose from different techniques and also make other laces if you wish. The laces can reflect festive themes, such as Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Easter, or they can depict nature themes or animals.

ADDITIONALLY: " We can make small Christmas-themed works using techniques from different countries"
