This course is for you if you have mastered 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 craft traditions. We will make, for example, Slovenian Idrija and German Schneeberg tape lace techniques, the fascinating chrysanthemum lace, Russian Vologda tape lace, Bruges flower lace, and techniques from other countries. On the course, you will also have the opportunity to bring your work to life by creating backdrops for them using silk painting technique. No prior experience with this technique is required. This part of the course will give 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. On the course, we will focus on the Christmas theme, but other festive themes are also possible. You can, if you wish, make lace on top of a finished photograph. For the course, you will need to bring a possible frame for your works and an open and creative mind. Please contact the teacher if you have anything specific in mind, tel. 040 5919149. The instructor is an experienced bobbin lace teacher, artisan, and restaurant entrepreneur in Lappila, Heli Rämö-Kaija. The language of instruction is Finnish.

Teacher

Rämö-Kaija Heli

I am Heli Rämö-Kaija, a bobbin lace teacher, artisan in instruction. My day job is assembling rifles. I graduated as an artisan from Kouvolan Seudun Ammattiopisto in 2019 and have taught bobbin lacemaking since then in several adult education centers. I enjoy many different crafts, knitting, weaving, and lacemaking, as well as various woodworking. In the summers, I cycle on many different personal treks, swim, and move in nature. In winter, I go ice swimming, ski, and downhill ski. I am easily enthusiastic about new things and gladly share this joy of handicrafts. The best part of teaching is when students learn new things even years after starting the hobby. In the course, students can create traditional works as well as items using techniques from different countries, anything they can imagine. Only imagination is the limit.
