I also started out with a person who enjoyed calling herself a teacher, but who was actually a terrible teacher. She hated that I wanted to move on beyond her boring exercises into "real" lace. So I just armed myself with recommended (by Arachne) books and worked on my own with occasional trips "over the mountain" to visit Tamara and get her sage advice. As soon as I was able, I went to every workshop I could manage, and have never looked back.
I have to give credit to this guild for demonstrating at popular festivals which is how I discovered lace so many years ago. But I can count on my fingers the number of their students who have gone beyond the basics.
