A Passion For The Craft

I have been making bobbin lace for over half my life.  It is a craft that is truly addictive.  However in an age of minimalism and sleek lines I have found myself asking: is this a dying craft and is there room for lace in today's society?  And so Beyond the Doily begins......

Beyond the Doily looks at the art of lace making and how it fits into contemporary arts, craft and design.  The blog aims to document how lace is used as inspiration in the 21st century while still honouring traditional techniques.  May it inspire and enlighten you about this beautiful craft.

If you are interested in learning more about lace making you could start by trying to contact a lace guild in your area.  The LaceGuild UK and the Australian LaceGuild are two such sites.
