I am to some degree self-taught, starting with the Introduction to Torchon Lace to get the basics. Mistakes in that book, however, so I'm not sure I'd recommend it to anyone who is not rather analytical and can work through the mistakes. Then on to Bucks and Binche, and now old Binche/Valenciennes, with detours into Milanese, Beds, and Honiton. The last three were in classes, all with good teachers: Louise Colgan, Jean Leader, and Christine Hawken. Two terrific teachers are good for students who like very analytical approaches, Ulrike (Lohr) Voelcker and Holly Van Sciver. They are great on details, historical information, and the 'why' of various techniques and alternatives. I love their classes. Nancy Connecticut, USA
