Bobbin Lace Jewellery

Jennifer MacPherson, author of 'Bobbin Lace Jewellery...

In this book I have brought together the techniques I have learnt along the way to enable Lacemakers of all abilities and experience to make some exciting pieces. Hopefully, they will not only enjoy making, but also enjoy wearing these on completion.

Please see the columns on the right for the full contents of both the book and the supplement.

The book is supplied in 2 parts: A high quality lithographically printed full colour 72 pageA4 bound book and a 36 page separate A5 supplement.

I am sure you will understand that we can't show the pages so that they can be read but all the images are taken from the book and the contents of both the book and supplement are listed in their entirety.

The book can be ordered by email, by calling us on 01522 426124 or on eBay.
