Re: [lace] What happens to the lace teacher's work?
Hi Linda, Answers to your query! i. I started teaching about twelve years ago. ii. I make more lace, but mainly for the benefit of my students, not necessarily the lace I would make for myself - eg, to explain a technique, to show different ways of making stitches, the different resilts if different stitches are used iii. Yes - I think the quality of most of my work has improved but there is always the 'Book of Heroic Disasters' to consult. iv. Yes - I have tried lots of different types of lace, so that I can further my teaching skills. v. Yes up to a point - it does depend a great deal on what standard the student for whom one is designing specific pieces has reached, as to how the design proceeds. vi. The joy of imparting the love of lace to others - certainly *not* the mass of money one accrues!!!

Re: [lace] What happens to the lace teacher's work?
I cannot say about lace teaching, because I have only been making for 5 years and have not tried, but I know from experience of teaching silver jewellery making that - I did make more jewellery than before. - The quality of my work definitely improved as I demonstrated the 'proper' way of doing things, and started practising what I preached! - I had to try all sorts of new techniques that I had only read about before, because my students wanted to try them and I had to be the 'expert'. - My designs improved by leaps and bounds, sparked off by my students' ideas and inspirations, and by the need to create designs that they could use and learn from. ALSO - I made some very good friends. I have retired from teaching now. I miss it no end, but have found that the experiences I had and the confidence I gained through my teaching, have inspired me to try out lots of new things that I would never have tried before. If you are thinking of teaching - go for it! You will enjoy the experience and be greatly enriched by it. You will also be surprised at how much you know that you did not think you knew (VBG) Dee Palin - Original Message - From: "Linda Greyling" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 2:08 PM Subject: [lace] What happens to the lace teacher's work? Hi Friends My questions is directed to all lace teachers. When you started teaching - did you make more lace than before? - did the quality of your work improve? - did you try new kinds of lace to accommodate students? - did you become more creative in your own designs? What makes you continue teaching? Looking forward to your answers and any comments that would be useful to help someone decide to teach or not.

Re: [lace] What happens to the lace teacher's work?
Hello Lind, - did you make more lace than before? Yes, but not always my own projects because I redo every pattern I have in my course-map even I have done it before. - did the quality of your work improve? Sure it does. - did you try new kinds of lace to accommodate students? Mostly the course has a theme but during the course I ask what my students like or want or doesn't know yet. And I tell about my projects and so on. And if there are questions not belonging the course I try to answer and show. - did you become more creative in your own designs? That's difficult to answer, but I become more sure in what I did and do and often understand things better and quicker. What makes you continue teaching? I like to do it and If people ask me to do I want to help them. And I like to keep this handicraft alive and/or tell people who don't know about lace what a wonderful thing it is.
