[lace] Lace as Art

I guess I should be clearer about my motives for asking these questions. I am trying to put together a proposal for an art show in an art museum that will consist of pieces of contemporary fiber art made with bobbin lace and needle lace technique. The idea is to present works that show the

[lace] Buying lace as art

I think there is widespread agreement that keeping track of hours and charging a minimum wage for them and selling the lace thus produced is not an economical proposition. But, I don't actually think that art is priced on an hourly basis. You are not paying for time, you are paying for creativity.

[lace] Supporting young lacemakers

Many good suggestions have been proffered for increasing the visibility of lace. But, here in NY, what I am observing is that people who know how to make lace, and are fiber artists are turning away from making lace art because there is no market for it. We are, to use one of my husband's

Re: [lace] Supporting young lacemakers

I guess there must be some celebrities who do knitting or crocheting since someone said there was. The last one I recall was Rosie Grier who gained some notoriety for needle point. .I have to say I am so far from even knowing who celebrities are these days that it is embarrassing. But, my limited

I would also take issue with the idea that knitting and crochet are popular because celebrities are doing them. My perspective, of course, is perhaps very limited because I live near NY. But, from what I have observed millennials are making things as a form of self-actualization. They are finding

Again, going through Wardle's book, I see some references to the lace collection of Queen Emma reputedly at the Koninklijke Verzamelingen, the Hague. Even the wikepedia entry which I had automatically translated confirms that this collection is at the Koninklije Verzamelingen, but it is unclear to
