  • LACE MAKING AND TATTING with the Lace Ladies

    We are an active group of ladies who share our passion for lacemaking and speak the language of lace! As a group we have a wealth of knowledge and resources and willingly share them with others.

    We create beautiful handmade lace using many different techniques, collect antique lace, and make make tools for ourselves and others to use. We are students and are always learning new techniques about our favorite type of lace or a technique that we've never tried before.

    Stop by and see what we are currently working on or try your hand at making lace.
