The
Lost Art Lacers of North Jersey are pleased to have Holly Van Sciver back for a
second weekend class. Holly has been a student and teacher of lacemaking for 30
years. Originally trained in England, she has taught and lectured
extensively in the United States, Canada and Europe for the International Old
Lacers, regional lace guilds, national lace conferences, museums, historical
societies, universities and professional organizations.
Bucks
Point is an English bobbin lace derivative of the point ground family of
laces. It is characterized by a delicate ground and a pattern outlined by
a gimp thread. Beginning students will learn point ground, the catch pin,
moving the gimp, honeycomb ground, picots, headside and footside
techniques. Intermediate students will learn to apply the basic skills to
increasingly more difficult patterns while learning additional skills including
cucumber foot, moving multiple gimps, gimp fingers, irregular corners and
invisible starts and finishes in honeycomb ground. Advanced students can
select from a wide range of patterns including florals at varying degrees of
difficulty. Students should indicate whether their level in Bucks Point
is beginner, intermediate or advanced. Holly is also willing to instruct
in any other lace discipline the student may desire, including Torchon, Beds,
Honiton, Russian, Hungarian, tape laces and more! Why not try some of Holly’s newly designed patterns in Torchon
using invisible starts and finishes.
The teacher will
contact you for your individually chosen bucks point or other lace patterns.
All levels of bobbin lace students are welcome from their first Bucks and
Beyond pattern up to floral work.
New this year!
