Francis,
Working with wire is quite fun. You use the same patterns and can use
the same bobbins to work in wire. Certainly handling wire and fiber thread
are different, but it just takes a small adjustment. It is not always easy
to find someone to teach wire lace. The links I provided the other day
would be a good start. Susan Lambiris is teaching beginning wire lace at
the IOLI convention this summer. I think the difficulties brought up
related more to the clay than to actual wire. Since we can work bobbin lace
in wire fairly easily, I would not be inclined to work with the clay for
this purpose.. I do hear, however, that it is great for some applications
such as findings.

Hallo,
i am still a bit "starteled"
unfamiliar whit the problems concerned in "silver"-lace?
is it the thread/wire?
is it the bobbins?
is it the patterns?
....

this matter?
furthemore i have worked more the 10 years ago in that silverclay material
and to be honest, I can not see how you could do lace in that material
it is unpleasant in touching it
extremly smelly in a very jakkieway
and it did almost never dowhat i wanted it to do
and it was not able, is refrase: I was not able to do fine cording or
threads whit it
does anyone else have an other experience? did anyone else sucseeded in
making
a !!!!NICE!!!! litlle peace in that clay?

please do not see this as critique but as a general question out of
astonischment
that i could not do it and others may be......
