Lace Design Workshop
Have you ever wanted to design your own lace shawl? Well, you are in luck, because Sivia Harding is teaching a workshop on Saturday, August 27th from 10am – 5pm, and there’s room in the class for you! It’s $60 to spend a full day with the lace queen.
Sivia gives you the tools to access your inner designer in this gentle and supportive workshop. You will learn all the skills you need to design your own topdown triangle shawl. In this class, we examine the structure of the basic top-down triangle shawl and insert our choice of lace patterns to create an original design, with an eye to shaping, esthetics, and flow. Charting patterns, shaping lace in pattern, modulation from one pattern to another, and types of edgings will be discussed. Students receive the benefit of Sivia’s years of experience in designing innovative lace shawls and exceptional beaded lace. This workshop is the perfect blend of lace design skills, inspiration and discovery.
