Introduction to Shuttle Tatting

Description:  Shuttle tatting is a traditional lace-making craft using a small, boat-shaped tool called a shuttle.  It is an early form of tatting, creating delicate lace for edgings, doilies, and jewelry and relying on basic double stitches and picots (small loops) to build complex designs.

Participants will learn

  • How to prepare a shuttle and see different types of shuttles

  • How to read tatting patterns
  • Start a simple project, time and skill permitting
