Honiton Lace isn't as fiddly as it looks,  it is basically weaving two bobbins (workers) across the other threads (passives) .  If anyone is interested in classes they can contact: The Lace Guild, The Hollies, 53 Audnam, Stourbridge, West Midlands, DY8 4AE  Tel 01384 390739. and they will be able to tell you where the nearest class is.
