Hi All, I believe you only have to know how to make a lace to teach it ; ) History is icing on the cake.
I was just wondering about guipure myself so I'm glad it came up. Kurella's "Guide to Lace & Linens" says the most common definition is lace with a background that does *not* have net (or reseau as Earnshaw says). So that's why Carrickmacross guipure has the net cut out. I hope I can remember that! Guipure d'art sounds like a name they might have made up around 1900. In the US at that time they made up a lot of names for laces that are rather confusing today. Jane in Vermont, USA who watched a few minutes of golf on TV, they're in Arizona and there is green grass and people are outside in t-shirts and shorts!
