I taught myself from the Doris Southard book until I found a group about 40 miles away. From there, I found suppliers. This was before I used the Internet much. Found Arachne which helped. Â Nowadays I am on Bobbin Lace Makers on Facebook and try to help with suggestions for people new to lace. Â If they are in the US, I look in the IOLI handbook to see if I can spot a lacemaker in their city and if so, suggest they go to the IOLI website to contact the area rep. I also encourage them too join so they can borrow books and videos just for postage costs. It is wonderful to see so many new lacemakers online and is a useful reply to the "Dying Art" response when demonstrating. Â That drives me nuts, especially if we are working with children.
