This course encourages original circular design on A3-size polar Plotadot grids (to be supplied). It starts with the creation of a very personal straight geometric design (inspired using pattern stamps) which is then transferred to a circular grid; that experience is then broadened with papercut and other more fluid shapes, stylised and organic patterns drawn from everyday life. It is accompanied by many examples of finished lace, often demonstrating the innovative use of colour.
The course is suitable for all levels of design expertise, aimed always at the novice; the basic requirement is that students must be able to make a straight piece of Torchon lace.

The course will be proceeded by a tutorial with the instructor to enable students to create their own pattern stamps. Prior to the class, each student must also create at least one, or more, of the rubber stamp teaching aids (that the tutor would normally bring to class) which will help them generate ‘instant Torchon’ patterns. It is important that students attend the tutorial.
