Hi All, My first weeklong lacemaking course was taught by Gail Young, who at that time also ran Trilliim Lace. She was great, and let us progress at the speed that was appropriate for each student. This allowed some of us who were extremely keen to really move ahead in that week. Josee Poupart was teaching as well but worked more with the more advanced/returning students. She was the one who taught me to do leaves at the end of the week and taught me Bedfordshire lace during my second course with them. She now teaches a leaves and tally workshop as well as other workshops. I still keep in touch with both Gail and Josee, and see both occasionally at International Lace Camp in Ontario. I've had other good teachers since then but I credit those two for teaching lacemaking in such a way that I do not ever feel afraid of trying something new even if it looks like it might be difficult.
