With all the talk about lace consultants and newspaper articles over the last few days, I thought you might be interested to know that my class made it into the local free newspaper today - a whole page except for the crossword! The article is also available to read on their website (though without the photos). Dawn, the reporter, came and spent an entire morning in the class several weeks ago, spoke to everybody and made copious notes. She had a go at the piece on my pillow, and got hooked enough to go and have another go after asking a few more questions. This personal experience meant that she was able to describe what she had done with some accuracy. It was just a pity that she has to work on Friday mornings, and she gets tied up with attending Council meetings on most Monday evenings, which is when my other class is held. The link is: http://ictamworth.icnetwork.co.uk/ and you need to click on "Lacemaking provides a pastime challenge" which is under the local news section.
If you invite a reporter or photographer to attend a class, do encourage them to have a go - once they have first hand experience of making the stitches, they are less likely to fall into the trap of saying that lace is made by winding threads round pins, or such like! -- Jane Partridge -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
