Lace Making

The Lace Group meeting is held every other Thursday between 10.00am and 12 noon and we meet at Material Needs, High Street, Burnham on Sea.

At present we have nine people making mainly Torchon lace but one or two also making Bedfordshire lace which is the next step on.

We use pairs of wooden bobbins wound with thread and a pillow to work on and pins, also a pricking pattern to follow the design.

We are all at various stages in our work depending on how you can cope in your understanding of the two basic stitches that are worked. We are a friendly group and enjoy the banter and different projects that people are working on.

Group Leader is Irene Angood.
