Mary Hocking

I started lacemaking in 1980, and on the advice of my tutor, joined the Lace Guild. In my first Guild magazine I read about North Downs Lacemakers. So I joined and have been a member ever since, serving on the committee at various times and am currently Treasurer.

I gained the City & Guilds Certificate in Creative Lacemaking in 1989 at Camberley, and have since taught the City & Guilds course at Basingstoke for several years. I now have 2 recreational lace classes in Yateley.

I prefer making bobbin lace rather than needle lace, but my favourite lace is the one I am working on at the time
