Come learn about tatting! A popular handicraft of the mid-1800s, tatting is a unique method of creating a strong shuttle-made lace from thread.
In this single, standalone class you will gain experience with the basics of this uncommon lace making practice. Expect to leave class having begun or finished a selection of heart motifs and be provided with patterns for further exploration.
In this class, we will explore what’s to love about tatting by creating simple hearts! These simple motifs can be adapted to create pins, cards, or other decorative details with possible applications being covered while we work. There will be a selection of heart patterns to choose from ranging in difficulty, so you can continue to develop your skills beyond class.

--How to load a shuttle
--How to select thread to use
