Tatting 101

Learn how fancy lace doilies are made at Tatting 101 on Sunday, Feb. 15 from 12 to 4 p.m. in The Studio.

Instructor Billie Theide will walk students through the basics of tatting and the historical craft of creating knotted lace. Students will learn how to shuttle and needle tat, select yarn, and form half knots, rings and chains. Those skills will help in the creation of a wide range of items like jewelry, scarves, edgings, fabric and art works. Each student will get a toolkit that will enable them to continue to work at home.

$110/person. Register at https://allerton.illinois.edu/events/tatting-101/. Registration will close Feb. 8 or when capacity is reached. All sales are final.
