About The Author
Jan Tregidgo
Jan Tregidgo has been making bobbin lace since 1980 after attending a weekend course. She has been passionate about bobbin lacemaking ever since. As a trained teacher, she has been teaching lacemaking since the late 1980’s: locally for adult education classes, at residential colleges and for the Lace Guild. Jan also teaches creative textiles and has combined her modern textile techniques with her traditional bobbin lace skills to produce ‘LetExist’ - her 21st century approach to contemporary bobbin lacemaking. Jan was awarded a medal of excellence by the Lace Guild in 2007 for her lacemaking skills in a piece of traditional Bedfordshire lace.
