Bobbin Lace with Sally Schoenberg

Please join us to see the work of local fiber artist, Sally Schoenberg who makes bobbin lace. Bobbin lace was first made in Italy in the 16th century. This lace is made using multiple threads, which are woven, crossed, and plaited to form a lace textile. Each individual thread is wound on a bobbin to aid in controlling the thread when creating the pattern. Sally Schoenberg has been teaching lacemaking in Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, and at International Organization of Lace conventions since 1991. Her greatest enjoyment, second only to making lace, is seeing a student go from frustration and bewilderment to "Aha! Now it makes sense!"
