Tatted Lace Trees 2-Part Series For Beginners

Come learn about tatting! A popular handicraft of the mid-1800s, tatting is a unique method of creating a strong shuttle-made lace from thread. 

In this two-part series of classes, you will gain experience with the basics of this uncommon lace making practice. Expect to leave the second class having begun a tree motif and be provided with ways to expand the project as you develop your skills. 

In this class, we will be celebrating nature by making little trees! These simple motifs can be adapted to create larger projects like bracelets, necklaces, edging, doilies, pins, and more! We will focus on learning double stitches in Part 1 and making trees in Part 2. 

In the class we will cover the basics of tatting including:

• How to load a shuttle
