Course Description: Milanese is a free-flowing form of tape lace characterized by special decorative stitches that become integral features of each design. The creative nature of this type of lace makes it suitable for both traditional and contemporary interpretation. This in-person course will cover all levels of Milanese techniques. A variety of patterns will be provided to suit both new and continuing Milanese students. Lacemakers will be given the option of using colored threads to make their own unique pieces from the selected patterns. As with other similar free-style laces, individual interpretation of each pattern is part of the learning process. A solid foundation in basic Bobbin Lace skills is required. Ability to read diagrams is also recommended.
