You wish to learn lace but you cannot move or stay several days far from your home to follow a full-scale formation ?

No importance ! If you cannot come to the lace, it will come to you !

Once I receive your sign-up form, I will send you a support for the lessons with explanations and cardboards for the different exercises. You will have one year after the sending date of the documents to go through the whole course.
