During the IOLI's virtual lace convention UnCon we put on three lace talks using Zoom webinar technology. These were very popular with our members and we have decided we should do more of them. The first talk in this series will be one that we were hoping to include in the UnCon but we didn't have time. So instead we are offering it for free to everyone, members and non-members alike. On September 15th at 3 pm Eastern Daylight Time, Kara Quinteros, a young fashion designer will speak about her collection of ethically produced fashions that include handmade bobbin lace. If you wish to join the Zoom webinar go here to register:

If you miss it, it will be available later on the IOLI Facebook page and on the public area of the IOLI website. Here is a description of the talk: Zero-Waste through Bobbin Lace Through the desire to innovate within current fashion systems of production, Kara Quinteros designs around utilizing traditional techniques of bobbin lace to create zero-waste, soil-to-soil, ethical and socially responsible garments while preserving a form of traditional craft. Using a transparent supply chain, from the raw materials to the finishing, each step of the system is heavily considered and designed upon. All handmade, the collection is a labor of love, passion and dedication to craft in this show/talk, she will go over her ideation, system of making, and where she hopes to take this methodology in the future.
