LOCAL BOBBIN LACEMAKERS

VISITORS WELCOME AT EVERY MEETING

We are a group of around 50 lacemakers who meet up once a month to share our love of bobbin lace. We make both traditional and modern lace, using a variety of patterns and techniques. Together we provide a wealth of knowledge and experience of regional styles up and down the country, as well as techniques used around the world. Join us to learn more about this very specialised craft, that’s steeped in history.

Please come and visit us at Living Crafts Hatfield
Thursday 9th to Sunday 12th May 2019
Art in Hetrs. MAPLE Marquee

Members of our group will be demonstrating Lacemaking and offering visitors a chance to ‘have a go’ at lacemaking, on specially set up lace pillows. The theme of our display for 2019 is Fans.
