A Lake District speciality since the late nineteenth century, Ruskin lace was made from hand-spun and woven linen produced by cottagers around Coniston. Karen is a leading exponent of this heritage craft who brings extensive knowledge to support and guide you in traditional needlepoint lace techniques for drawn thread and cut linen work to create beautiful geometric designs. This course is suitable for both the beginner and experienced needleworkers. If required, a starter pack (£15) is available to purchase from the tutor.
