Taste of Tatting • Wednesday, October 16th at 6-7:30pm Join The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes for a Taste of Tatting at the Montour Falls Library.

Tatting is a form of needlework where knots made on thread form the foundation of a variety of jewelry, linens, and lace to decorate clothing, holiday ornaments, and more. It was popular among Victorian ladies. However, today, tatting is designed and made by everyone. It can be made with a shuttle or needle. In this class, we’ll use a long tatting needle to create a simple, beaded bracelet…and maybe also inspire you to want to learn more!

This short, free class is recommended for teens and adults. No prior experience is necessary.

Instructor Karey Solomon is the designer/author of more than 36 pattern collections and has taught tatting across the U.S. and internationally.

To register, please call the Montour Falls Library at (607)535-7489 or email montourfalls@stls.org. Space is limited.

Funding is provided by the Abeel Bovee Foundation.
