Courses and Publications

E-books

Our bobbin lace design courses, initially run as live events and then as weekly installments on Patreon, with text and video content, are now available as e-books, and soon as print on demand physical books too. With a variety of cutting edge bobbin lace techniques and approaches aimed at every skill level, there's bound to be a course or a topic to inspire you, whether you're just starting out or have years of experience.

Absolute Beginner? Let's get you started.

Pierre has starting a live online course for absolute beginners in bobbin lace design and -making on Tuesday evenings (Central African/European Time, mornings/noon in the US) starting soon. (With video options to access the recordings for students in other time zones.) Sign up for this course on our Membership page under "Noobs" or "Video Noobs".

Studio Mates, Groundbreakers & Masterclass Membership

Online courses and Live sessions

As a member of The Adventurous Lacemakers on Patreon, you will get exclusive (discounted) access to our latest courses in (almost) weekly doses. Enjoy the unveiling of a course  in real time, get the thrill of being the first to open a lesson, and get support directly from the teacher. This content is available to members only until the course is complete and ready for publishing to the general public.

Our Patreon community has three tiers. The highest tier is The Adventurous Lacemakers Masterclass: a support group for lace artists and those who are still a bit uncomfortable with the term, but curious to explore their creativity. Membership to this tier is limited and highly sought after. At this point it has a waiting list, which you can sign up for once you become a member in either of the other tiers. 

If this isn't your cup of tea, buy us a coffee instead (the price of the cheapest membership, the Studio Mates) or two, if you like video demonstrations (available to the Groundbreakers only), and still enjoy the sense of community and creativity that we have to offer through our latest courses.

Online communities
