TLG - GA Short Course - Belgian Laces (Brugge, Chrysanthemum, Flanders, Binche) with Susan Roberts

Join us for a weekend exploring a Belgian lace of your choice, with something for all levels of lacemakers, including those who already work a Belgian lace. Susan has been making Belgian laces for over 20 years, all learnt under the guidance of tutors at the Kantcentrum in Brugge and has been teaching lacemaking for over 30 years.

There are four different laces on offer this weekend, Brugge Flower lace and Chrysanthemum lace can be done by anyone, including by those who generally work Torchon and/or are new to bobbin lace. Flanders lace is available for those who have worked multiple types of lace before and who are happy to use coloured working diagrams and are up for a challenge, Binche lace is probably the most complex lace there is and is only for those with substantial lacemaking experience. You don’t need to have done Paris or Flanders first as Susan has some slow Binche exercises to start to get you used to two pairs at each pin rather than one which is a feature of these laces.
