Shuttle Tatting Class at Landis Valley
Because Diane went through the challenges of learning to tat with a shuttle 20 years ago she is now able to slow down the movements of shuttle tatting and give you the hints to help you in your journey to tatting with a shuttle. Diane will bring a sampling of her shuttle collection and antique pieces of tatting as a show and tell. The fee is $45 and includes a 2.75 Aerlit Shuttle with an attached hook and 2 bobbins, A collection of patterns to try after you have worked on a simple edging will be provided. Please bring scissors.
Bio: Diane has been teaching needle tatting for over 20 years. Her mother tatted with a shuttle and could never slow down her hand movements enough to teach Diane or her daughter to tat with a shuttle. Diane owned 6 shuttles and numerous books on tatting, and considered herself a "tatting flunky." She owned and operated Diane's Design in East Petersburg for 10 years, and it was at one of her buyer's shows that she discovered needle tatting. It was like a dream come true and needle tatting became an instant hit at her shop. She began teaching needle tatting to people who wanted to tat, but could not master the shuttle. At that time, Diane was a member of the Embroiderer's Guild and the International Lace Maker's Guild. It was several years later when Diane went to a tatting retreat (with her tatting needles in hand) taught by Rosemary Peel from England that she finally learned to tat with a shuttle. Rosemary told her, in a very British accent, "You can't tat this with a needle." But, Diane managed to do it with her needle and, as a bonus, learned to shuttle tat!
