Bobbin Lace Taster Class

Learn the essential stitches of bobbin lace at this textiles workshop in London.



3 hours Location Deptford Class size 1 to 12 guests   £30

Discover the endangered art of bobbin lace in this beginner-friendly lacemaking workshop in London, where you'll learn the fundamental stitches behind this beautiful heritage craft. No previous experience is needed, so it's a warm, welcoming place to start.
Together, we'll work through the core stitches that form the building blocks of bobbin lace: the cross, the twist, the whole stitch, the half stitch, and the whole stitch and twist. Each one builds on the last, so you'll gradually gain confidence as your skills come together.
Everything you need is provided, including bobbins, a lace pillow, pins, threads and a pattern, so all you need to bring is a little patience and a willingness to have a go. By the end of the course, you'll leave with a finished piece of lace and a fun new skill that you can keep practising at home.

Hi, I'm Leigh and I run The Laceup London. I started making bobbin lace with the London Lace Club in Feb 2024 and have been a lacemaking obsessive ever since. I now run courses to give more people a chance to try this endangered gorgeous craft. I provide the bobbins, threads, cushions, patterns; all you need to bring is your desire to learn a new skill.
