Explore bobbin lace, a form of small-scale intricate weaving that dates back to the 15th Century. Working with small wooden bobbins wrapped with thread, you’ll learn basic lace-making techniques and how to read a pattern to create several samplers. Keep your new bobbins to continue making lace on your own!
