Students travel from North and South Carolina, Virginia and even New York, to learn the various techniques of Milanese, Hungarian Tape Lace, Russian Tape Lace to name a few types of lace. As we cross and twist Louise’s lovely patterns, we sometimes start our own creative designs unintentionally. Louise gently guides us back on the right path.
