I am looking for a group of lacemakers in the Greensboro, NC area. Could you please let me know if there are any that would accept a fairly new lacemaker? Best regards, Nancy
Nancy, if you will email your email address, I will send you the copy of our latest newsletter which has information about our lace day and which vendors are coming. You do not have to be a member to attend though we’d love to have you!
Nancy, I don’t think we have any lacers in our state group in Greensboro but you are in the middle (almost exactly) of four of our groups.

Hello Ladies, my name is Lisa. I live in Sanford, NC. I am very interested in learning how to do Bobbin Lace. I’m not able to travel far at times due to disability. Where can I find someone who teaches this art of Lace in my area or close to me? Thanks for your help. Have a very blessed day! ?????✴??
I have a lace dress with a small tear. Do any of the lacemakers repair lace?

Hello again Ladies, my name is Lisa A. I live in Sanford, NC and I’m very interested in knowing where a workshop in bobbin Lace is being taught near my area. Do I have to be a member of this guild to participate in the meetings? Thanks again.
I am looking for someone who does tenner riff in the Winston Salem or Greensboro area.
I do not know anyone in that area who does Teneriffe, sorry. Michelle
Beginner looking for a mentor. Wondering what are the basics necessary to start. Is this something i can learn from books or videos or is hands-on better? I live near Franklin or Highlands. Is there help in the area? Thanks, Deb
Dear Deb,
You can learn bobbin lace from books and videos – that is how I learned. It is better to have a teacher though. Look at your local library for books, ask at your local yarn or weaving store if they know any lacemakers, and watch videos on you tube. Check out these websites: https://internationalorganizationoflace.org and https://www.laceguild.org. I’m not very familiar with the Highlands or Franklin area. I know there is a group that meets in Tryon, NC at the Lanier Library. The next meeting is on May 27, I believe at 10 AM. The library’s phone number is 828-859-9535. You could call the library to confirm the date and time. Usually lace groups are very welcoming of newcomers who are interested in learning. Good luck, Michelle
