Such refreshing news I'm now reading about tutors who teach Traditional needlelace! It warms my heart, as I felt I had failed, having spent over 30 years trying to pass on the legacy that Nenia Lovesey left to us all. It would be a disaster if Traditional Needlelace disappeared into obscurity like so many other skills have done, Modern technology is wonderful but children seem to be no longer taught them at school as there is no time apparently but they would rather spend their time sitting at computers, game boys, x boxes etc (whatever they are)!
