The Craft of Needle Tatting. Join local expert Jane Beard, as she personally provides you individualized instruction and attention in the craft of needle tatting. You’ll learn the basic stitches and “how to’s” while creating your own beautiful lacy medallion…just the beginning of your own doily’s, snowflakes and more. Although many people use the medallions to learn the tatting process, they may also be used to embellish garments. It all starts with making rings and chains. Inserts, flowers, neck and sleeve edgings can all be formed from the simple stitches, either plain or with beads, from crochet cotton or tatting thread. It’s a fun and unique hands-on program that anyone would enjoy. Fees vary depending on type of program provided.
