Description

This DVD is a culmination of 36yrs. of teaching this unique craft of substance, a technique that has survived since 1884 despite great changes in the World of Fabric Art. After much persuasion over the years, long before camera technology was capable of working in such clear and close detail.  Meeting a very able cameraman who is master of his craft as well as gifted with infinite patience, was the ultimate, to whom Elizabeth is greatly indebted.

Elizabeth is hopeful this facility will fill the gap between workshops. With the support of her book for those who are unable to attend workshops, which will always be the ideal situation, working in convivial surroundings, with those of like mind,  Though understandably not available to everyone.

The DVD is professionally produced as a two disc pack of 3hrs. 55mins duration with a chapter menu and sub menu which will allow the operator to move to various stages as need.  Beginning with an introduction.  Followed by a breakdown of basic instruction from the blank piece of fabric through the many and varied traditional stages to the end result.  With many ‘tips’ along the way to clarify the mystery, using very basic stitches.  All viewed from the working position. Finally ending with a brief outline of the origins of Ruskin Lace.
