I have spent the afternoon looking through my old lace catalogues, including those of several bobbin makers. I intend to put these on the site.
These are bobbins by Audrey Lockyer. They are the first bobbins I ordered for myself, and they are lovely to work with.
I first learned lacemaking at The English Lace School in Tiverton in 1980. I went for a week in the summer to do Torchon and the beginnings of Bedfordshire, and went back for a weekend of Bucks Point in the Autumn.
My teacher, Marjorie Carter, recommended her. I drew diagrams of them as I didn’t know much about wood then. It was years later when I realised that the lignin vitae was actually a box.
I have a fugitive memory of being told that her husband turned them in the garden shed but I may be wrong.
