My name is Sylvia and I have been a maker of many things for many years - starting with fabric and sewing as a pre-teen. Somewhere along the line, I learned about Tatting and thought I would like to learn how to do it someday. I had no "in person" training, but I was determined to learn and by studying videos online - I did learn the method of needle tatting! Since part of my "making" experience included jewelry making, it was a natural thing for me to lean toward making jewelry with Tatted work.
I love that Tatting is such an old, antiquey method, that it is truly handmade (as so many things are NOT these days). I enjoy bringing back this piece of the past from simpler times, making it relevant today and introducing a new generation to lovely things from the past. I feel that I am honoring people from my own past and maybe your past who taught us to use our hands to create as I bring Tatting to this time and place!
