Beginning Tatting

BEGINNING TATTING

Have you admired tatting and wondered if you could be able to tat? Very few stitches must be mastered to create beautiful tatted works of art. This beginner class will get you on track for shuttle tatting by teaching you the tools and techniques.
    You will concentrate on learning the double stitch, which all shuttle tatting is based on. Once the double stitch has been mastered, you'll learn to make rings and picots. The goal of these classes is to create, with practice, a simple edging of connected rings and picots.

SUPPLIES TO BRING: Small scissors, tatting shuttle and #10/#20 cordonnet thread in white and a color of your choosing. A large-eye needle is useful for finishing.

INSTRUCTOR: Kevin is a freelance professional singer with Bay Area groups like Clerestory and Endersnight. He learned tatting in order to keep the tradition alive and as a creative activity that could be done while traveling.
