This year marked a change in organising team – Sarah and Carole took over from Kitty and Sue who had been organising the course for 40 years. We had planned on marking this incredible achievement last year but had to delay it. At the beginning of this year’s course Sue and Kitty were presented with two framed trees made up of individual lace leaves made by past students and tutors at the course. The Edinburgh Lace Course has been a vital part of the calendar in this area and has encouraged and developed so many talented lacemakers that they were delighted to contribute to the surprise.
This year Kitty was able to concentrate on tutoring her students and Sue was able to actually make lace as she was a student!
