TLAS is bringing back the lost arts of fine crafting. From woodworkers, potters, knitters and so much more to new takes on old crafts. The old village blacksmith now forges decorative ironwork. Glass blowers now scale new heights of art. Knitters and weavers transform cottons, wools and more into high fashion and statement art wall hangings. You will be able to download patterns and ideas from the middle 1800’s through 1940. Downloads and patterns are free.
