Golly, I never saw a demo!  I was quite small, living out side new York City.
My  older DB and I were privileged to roam for hours in the galleries and
museums (while Mother shopped) and I loved the picture of 'the lady'.....then
some one told me that she was making lace.   Centuries passed and that was all
I knew.  It picked at my curiosity ....making lace on a pillow?   Finally,
long years later,  I was visiting friends and their neighbors from England.  I
mentioned my funny, oft forgotten, quest and she said that is bobbin lace.
That sent me to a library, DH brought home a CRAFT magaqzine with an article
about....bobbinlace, by Faith Rogers.  It show pictures and direction from
Olive Risch (sp).  The best single lesson that I ever had.
Lo, these many years and I am still at it!!!

  The part "I saw a demo" is quite common. I thought I paid good attention to
  try at home. I improviesd with bobbins and made myself a tiny roler. How I
  got the iedea to fill it with sand?
  The library had a few books that came to my rescue.
