REQUESTS FOR TATTING

South Carolina State Fair in October: Each year we collect butterflies and other small tatted items to share with the thousands of fair goers.

Items to sell at craft fairs: We love to share our tatting and make more folks aware of this wonderful art form and craft shows are one way we do this. It also brings in a little cash to help support our teaching efforts throughout the year. Craft show goers are looking for unique items and we can provide just that. Items like, but not limited to, jewelry, bookmarks, decorative things, etc.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU for your generosity!

TEACHING and LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

At a public library near you. Sign-up to help teach by emailing Karen.

Monthly Meetings, Tat Days and SC State Fair!

And anywhere you show off your tatting can be an opportunity!
