Single-Welt Pockets & Patch Pockets



         Next Steps in Tatting: Tatted Bookmarks
         WITH KEVIN BAUM
              Saturday, November 15th, 2025 • 12:30 PM - 4:00 PM
              Fee: $46



Join us for a relaxing and rewarding workshop exploring the elegant art of tatting. Under the guidance of longtime lacemaker Kevin Baum, you'll learn the fundamentals of shuttle tatting — forming rings, chains, and picots — as you create a beautiful lace bookmark.

Choose from three classic bookmark designs, each showcasing the charm and versatility of handmade lace. Whether you're new to tatting or returning to the craft, you'll enjoy the process of creating a unique piece to treasure — or to give as a heartfelt, handmade gift.

All materials are provided, and you'll leave with both your finished bookmark and the skills to continue tatting on your own.

ABOVE: Paper bookmarks are so passé. Mark your page in style — with a little bit string, "bookended" with little tiny motifs of tatted lace!
