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 two-part series of classes, you will gain experience with the basics of this uncommon lace making practice. Expect to leave the second class having begun or finished a shamrock and be provided with ways to expand the project as you develop your skills.
In this class, we will be exploring fun ways to use tatting picots by making shamrocks! These simple motifs can be adapted to create larger projects like cards, doilies, pins, and more! We will focus on learning double stitches in Part 1 and making shamrocks in Part 2.
