Dear Kathi,
Look at:
www.minnlacesociety.org
www.internationaloldlacers.org (Large American Lace Guild, which has 28
members who live in Minnesota).
You should be able to find lacemakers demonstrating at state and local
fairs,
street fairs, historic house museums. You may be able to get references
from
owners at independently-owned quilt or yarn shops. And, your state may
have
a state fiber arts organization, with state or national endowment for the
arts
funding. Ask at any museum how to find the state arts commission to help
you
find fiber artists. Also, members of the Embroiderers' Guild of America
and
American Needlepoint Guild should be able to point you in the correct
direction -- to people who make lace, teach lace, and can provide
information about
where to buy supplies. Needlelace instruction is offered by these
organizations, and the teachers of needlelaces will know of bobbin
lacemakers.
