[lace] Lace Guild exhibition at Gunnersbury Museum

[Jean Leader]

I thought I'd just remind everyone making travel plans for the summer 
that some of the Lace Guild collection is on display at Gunnersbury 
Park Museum until 26th September. There is a programme of talks and 
workshops associated with the exhibition - see the Lace Guild web 
site ( http://www.laceguild.org ) for more details. Gunnersbury Park 
Museum is in west London and you'll also find a pop-up map of how to 
get there (the nearest tube station is Acton Town and you can then 
walk or take a bus).

Entry to the museum is free and opening times are  Apr to Oct, Mon to 
Fri 1.00 pm to 5.00 pm; Sat & Sun 1.00 pm to 6.00 pm; Nov to Mar 1.00 
pm to 4.00 pm

I was there when the exhibition opened at the beginning of the month. 
It looked very nice - not too large but plenty of variety and 
information. Best of all some of the lace is displayed on costume 
from the museum so you can see how it would have been worn.

There are 4 postcards (25p each) - 17th C Italian bobbin lace copying 
reticella, some lovely detail from a distressed piece of Venetian 
Gros Point, detail from a Point de Gaze collar, and a Youghal 
needlelace collar from about 1900.

Jean in Glasgow looking forward to ski-ing in Colorado next week!
