Our annual retreat and workshops will be held from Thursday, March 20 to Sunday, March 23, 2025. Once again, we will be at Mercy by the Sea Conference Center in Madison, CT. The retreat house is located on Long Island Sound and all rooms have a private bathroom.
Our teachers for this year will be:
Kumiko Nakazaki who will be teaching Binche (beginning and continuing), as well as Rosaline.
Holly Van Sciver will be offering all levels of Torchon, Bedfordshire, Bucks Point, Honiton, Russian, contemporary lace and more. Holly will also be our vendor.
Sharon Sacco will be teaching a beginner bobbin lace class for those who are new to lacemaking, or those who have been away from lacemaking for a while and need to go back to basics. This class will be subsidized by NELG.
Registration is open from November 18, 2024 through February 9, 2025. Paid registrations received by January 6, 2025 will receive up to $20 early bird discount on accommodations and workshop fees. Detailed information is available here.
