You want to learn lace but can't travel or stay away from home for several days at a time?
If you can't go to the lace, the lace will come to you!
As soon as I receive your enrolment form, I'll send you a course guide with explanations and instructions for the various exercises. You will have one year from the date of dispatch of the documents to complete the entire course.

Application form (7.12 Ko)
You'll need to return the completed exercises as you go along (I recommend waiting for the correction to be returned before starting the next exercise).
During this period, you can contact me by phone or e-mail to let me know of any difficulties you may have encountered. I will answer your questions as soon as possible.
