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.
