Those of us at the Tatting Corner are passionate about passing along the tradition of Tatting, an ancient lace making form that dates back to biblical times. This beautiful and lacey lace is a durable piece of history that can be passed down from generation to generation. I originally learned from my grandmother and now my daughter is learning the craft at the age of 8.
For those who have always wanted to learn but don't have the family or connections, we want to be your tatting family and help you with the resources you need to learn. Many folks can and have taught themselves to tat. However learning the transfer sometimes is just so much easier with a teacher or a guiding hand.
As part of our mission to help continue the rebirth of Tatting we are offering this page, a Teachers Page if you will. Our hope is that no matter where you live, you can find a tatting teacher, a mentor or a tatting guild nearby that can help.
If you are an experienced tatter, lacemaker or crocheter who would love to mentor someone, or you are teacher for hire and would like to be listed on this page, please click the button above to submit your information.
This listing is absolutely free. We hope someday to have representation from as many states and countries as possible.

Chicago, Illinois USA
Name:
Victoria Ong
Email:
Description:
Hi, my name is Victoria and I am a needle and thread artist focused on 3D floral design patterns. In 2015, I discovered Igne Oya, which translates to crochet flowers or needlelace flowers. As someone with sensitive skin, I wanted to find jewelry pieces and accessories that were hypoallergenic. After owning a few pieces, I decided to take it upon myself to learn the technique to make my own patterns and style of handwoven lace jewelry. The art in its purest form only requires needles, threads, and sharp scissors. This type of jewelry has to be made by hand because of the intricacies and sculptural nature of lacework. Everything from the flowers to the details are done by hand with a fine tapestry needle and the best Egyptian cotton thread or metallic threads. Floral pieces can take a few hours to a few days to finish and consist of hundreds of tiny knots to form handmade lace. Part of my mission is to grow a community of admirers or crafters interested in the artistry and craft of needlelace. This form of art is new to the English-speaking world and I would love to share my knowledge of needlelace techniques. I teach locally in Chicago, and can also do virtual sessions with anyone who speaks English.

Description:
I learned to tat from my father who was a mechanic. He could make the most
beautiful and delicate lace with his fingers. I wanted to do just like he
did. He learned from his mother when he was confined to bed with the measles
for quite a long time and was bored. He made lace for my hats and collars
when I was little and tatted several headpieces for bridal veils, including
one for a lady in Japan.
My father tatted the wings for an angel that I knitted the body and dress
for and my daughter and granddaughter knitted the arms and legs. The angel
was sent to Washington D.C. to be on the Christmas tree there and then
auctioned. It turned out just beautifully.
I owned a small craft supply shop in my town of Munising, Michigan and I was
able to pass along my love of tatting to some of the ladies of the town. I
am available to teach anyone who would like to learn if they can come to my
house in Shingleton. I would hate to see the beauty of tatting die out when
there are still people who know how to do it.

Parma, Ohio - I learned shuttle tatting from my mother starting at about age 8. She had learned from my dad's mom who wanted to make sure the art didn't die out. After being thoroughly frustrated by my inability to pull up a ring due to my chubby fingers and sweaty hands, I finally was able to make
presentable edgings by the time I was in 7th grade. Over the next 45 years, I taught myself double shuttle & ball & shuttle. I have no daughters to pass this on to. And while my sons picked up crochet & sewing, neither of them wants to tat. I'd love to mentor and/or teach anyone who wants to learn.

crewel, cross stitch, samplers, needle lace, spinning, knitting, and hand
quilting.
I have also lectured on a variety of needlework themes ie: samplers and their history, antique sewing tools, lace and it's history, Victorian needlework etc. I will travel to groups to teach tatting, needlework and/or lecture. This does depend on the distance, number of students travel costs and the weather. I try to stay local from November through March.
My max for a tatting group is 7, my min is 3. For samplers my max is 16 my min is 8 and is negotiable for needlework, but not tatting.
I will do follow up classes as needed, again with the above parameters.
My goal is to have fun while teaching/learning a new skill. That is the reason we create with our hands. I also believe the best teachers are constant students themselves, striving to learn more and achieve the highest standards.
You can contact me though email or Facebook at Cyndi Foore. I look forward to hearing from you.
