Bobbin Lace with Visiting Artist Erika Diamond

April 15 @ 10:00 am - April 16 @ 5:00 pm

  • « “Self” Opening Reception
  • Rabbit Laser Cutter Certification – April »
Try your hand at bobbin lace with Erika Diamond during the opening weekend of our exhibition “Self” featuring Erika’s work.

2-Day Visiting Artist Workshop

Dates & Times:

  • Saturday, April 15 – 10am-5pm
  • Sunday, April 16 – 10am-5pm

Description: Bobbin Lace is an intricate form of weaving dating back to the 15th Century using small wooden bobbins, thread, pins, and lacework “pillows”. This class is for students with no experience in bobbin-lace, but will be a delightful new challenge for weavers and fiber enthusiasts of any skill level.

Tuition: $225 + $25-$52 materials fee

Materials: All students will pay a $25 materials fee which includes all of the cotton thread for two samplers (and some to take home if any is leftover), foam/fabric for individual lace pillows, and pins. Students have the option of adding 24 bobbins for an additional $27 which will be yours to keep. If you do not purchase the bobbins, we will have some available to use during the workshop.

Location: Contemporary Craft (5645 Butler St., Pittsburgh, PA 15201)

Visiting Artist Cancellations and Refunds: Workshop cancellations are decided one week before the start date. If workshops must be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment, the entire class fee will be refunded through Eventbrite, or you may leave your workshop fee in your Contemporary Craft account for future workshops.

Visiting Artist Refund Policy: Student refund requests must be made at 2 weeks before a class begins. There will be a $50 cancellation fee. No refunds will be given without 2 weeks notice.

If you require accessibility accommodations, please let us know by calling 412.261.7003 and we are happy to assist you.
