In South Africa there is probably no more than 500 lacemakers and that is
aiming very high! So I find it difficult to believe Canada has only 500.
We do not even have a national organisation.

I believe there about the same number of French-Canadian lacemakers in the

Hi spiders,
I'm giving a talk about lace next week. It is women's club (no males
admitted). I'd like to know approximately how many lacemakers there are in
the world. Like how many came up at the Lace magazine census? How many
belong to OIDFA? How many are there in different countries like
Hi Miriam and everyone
I think you can safely say 'thousands' of lacemakers throughout the world -
not 'tens' of thousands, but 'thousands' should cover it. There are about
500 in Canada, by my guesstimate, but let's say a thousand counting anyone
who could possibly have tried bobbin lace.

I can say that they exist at least 5000 lacemakers, only here in my area
of Catalunya (Spain).
Possibly the number raises up to 10.000 lacemakers, all the country
(Spain) (I have not evidence of this, this is only a supposition)
So, it is not a nonsense to speak of

The Dutch lace association had 3000 members a few years ago. The magazine is

Miriam, there are nearly 1000 in the Australian Lace Guild, and quite a few
others who are not members, --so I would say about 1500 in Australia, all
up.
(Gosh! our membership has dropped somewhat recently, I think.)
