The course is specifically aimed at individual tuition to suit the ability of each student.. Bobbin lace makers new to Honiton Lace will work a pattern that will enable them to recognize and interpret a variety of basic techniques, with practical exercise and demonstration, aided by step by step instruction sheets and diagrams as each stage is reached. Those with experience in Honiton Lace will receive advice on the working of a new or an ongoing project with consideration to expanding knowledge already attained and reinforcing areas that require more practice and expertise. Encouragement will be given to experiment with design for interpretation in Honiton Lace, to recognize and plan the working order of the piece, taking into account the shape and overall design.

After the course, according to the area, there may be the opportunity to attend weekly classes where available, otherwise it would be beneficial to attend further weekend courses to expand expertise further.
