Well our Adult Education authorities in both Poole and Bournemouth have both
said that they will definitely not be running bobbin lacemaking classes in
future (as of last month) because they're not accredited courses, and they
don't fit in with being able to complete the paperwork the government
requires by ticking boxes or stating the one thing that ALL students in the
class learnt in a week. Eg everyone learnt how to do spiders, or everyone
learnt to do a Bruges flower, in the same way that everyone painted a daisy
using water colour, or everyone made a necklace of both opaque and glass
beads with spacers. Being so diverse, lacemaking doesn't fit into neat
little compartments, so they can't cope with it.
So the teacher's hiring the room, we're paying her directly and the Lace
Guild is providing the insurance.
