About

Learn the basics of bobbin lacemaking with tutor Sylvia Emecheta in this beginner-friendly workshop at Mrs Dutton's Wondrous Workshops. Discover how to wind bobbins, work essential stitches and follow a simple pattern to create a charming bug and leaf design to take home. All materials are provided.

Bobbin lace is a traditional craft now listed on the UK Red List of Endangered Crafts, and Sylvia is passionate about helping keep the skill alive. Supported by members of the Craven Guild of Lace Makers, she'll guide you through the process in a relaxed small-group setting. Ideal for complete beginners or anyone looking to refresh their skills. Bobbin and pillow kits will be available to purchase for those wishing to continue their lacemaking journey, with follow-on workshops planned for 2027.
