Teachers Aides

Mary Donohue - I was taught to tat by Donna Thompson the Reigo way. I have since learned traditional tatting and front side tatting all in one breath. I am taking the Tatters Across Time Proficiency Program Apprentice Phase I course. I just recently designed my 1st two tatting patterns which are available on my website at http://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/community.dll?ep=16&groupid=41771&ck.

I was born and raised in the New England area (Rhode Island). We were moving to Florida when we stopped in to visit some friends in South Carolina and never left. (Mary, we are GLAD you stayed!)

Hope Green is coming from Florida. Her tatting has won multiple awards. Many of you will remember her Victorian tat trimmed outfit from the banquet fashion show last year.

Gail Hitchcock is our local girl! She is in the middle of tackling the GLLG Tat Teacher Certification. So if she is an aide in your class, please write her a raving review for her teaching protfolio
: )

Erin Holloway
Born in 1957 in Tennessee. Was abducted by aliens shortly thereafter whereupon they implanted a mind control chip in my head that causes me to obsess about tatting. The rest is history. Now I work at UT and
fall off chairs (it's that chip at work - I've lost me equilibrium!). No, really, I taught myself to tat when I was around 11 from the Coats and Clark learn how book. Had the ugliest "technique" until about 6 years ago when I relearned from a tatter doing a demonstration at a street fair here in town. I was THRILLED to find the online tatting community in 1998 or so. I have had a lifelong love affair with how-to books and anything that deals with yarn or thread. Most of my interests rhyme with "ats"...Cats, hats and tats (well - I'll be truthful here - can't leave out "fats" - i.e. chocolate bonbons).

Bethann Laars - "MsBearHeart"
Bethann demonstrates tatting at historic re-enactments. She has designed and produces a wooden flat shuttle.

Jane, could you please let the aides know the secret of where to find the ice cream, eh?
They certainly are going to earn a treat or two : )
