Originating in the 16th Century, Lace is loosely described as textiles with holes, and covers techniques such as Bobbin Lace, Crochet Lace, Knitted Lace, Knotted Lace, Netted Lace, Needle lace and Tatted Lace.
Bobbinlace making was recently added to the UK list of endangered crafts. Queensland Lace, a division of the Australian Lace Guild, is passionate about ensuring that lace making skills continue to be part of our craft and textile industry.
Lacemaking in all of its forms, is a wonderfully relaxing hobby, with studies showing that activities such as knitting and crocheting make people feel calmer, happier and more useful. In addition to the exhibition of historical and modern lace pieces, which will be open each day from 6th to 28th September, our lacemakers will be demonstrating lace making, at the Historical Society, each Saturday in September from 9 am to noon.
