Leaves of Lace
Leaves of Lace was a collaborative project presented by Boyd Community Hub and Craft Victoria as part of Craft Cubed – Window Walk series for 2017, a festival of craft by Craft Victoria. The theme for the 2017 event was ‘Crafting Communities’ making it an ideal subject to showcase the lace making community.
‘A single leaf is unique and a source of great beauty. It joins to a branch and that branch to another….soon you have a thriving tree.’
This site specific installation featured lace gum leaves made by members of the Australian Lace Guild Victorian Branch and community members who have participated in workshops run by the Guild.
These leaves are symbolic of the individuals that make up our crafting community. They are a contemporary reflection on each individual within this community.

As part of Craft Cubed Lindy also made leaves at Boyd Community Hub and left for the community to discover. Additionally a Leaf making workshop was held at the Hub giving participants the chance to be introduced to the
rhythm and beauty of bobbin lace making.
