Your instructors
Judy Jeon-Chapman: Intrigued by the historical importance of bobbin lace in Le Puy-en-Velay, France, while conducting sabbatical research in that city, Judy decided to take bobbin lace lessons at the famous Centre d'Enseignement de la Dentelle aux Fuseaux [Center for Teaching Bobbin Lace] of that city. The predominant style of lace there is Cluny, the type of lace that Judy practices the most, but she has also studied other types of lace such as Bedfordshire, Milanese and Binche.
Mary Mangan: Drawn to lace as a Revolutionary War reenactor, Mary wanted to complete her wardrobe with period lace trims. She is now an enthusiastic lacemaker of Ipswich lace, the only American lace of that period. In addition, she explores many other lace styles for both historic reproductions and modern artwork lace pieces like Milanese as well.
