This inspirational book shows lacemakers with a sound basic knowledge how to develop their individual interpretations of designs and their awareness of the many exciting possibilities of working a pattern.

New Patterns in Honiton Lace contains thirty new designs that have been worked by experienced lacemakers. Each pattern has been interpreted in an original style, and is illustrated with a photograph of the finished work, a pricking and a diagram of the working order.

Lacemakers are guided by detailed written instructions, including working notes, a full description of the working order and the fillings used. This invaluable book is rounded off by several useful appendices, including a biography, addresses of suppliers and sources of information.

Caroline and Barry Biggins are both qualified art teachers. Caroline attended evening classes in Honiton lace for fourteen years before taking up a teaching class herself in 1980. Barry began designing lace in 1985.
