Subject: [lace] Lace guild Convention, Durham - and more from UK.
Thank you, Dianne, for your tantalizing report on these convention trips
to
Beamish and Bowes Museum. Before I left England, Beamish was a favourite
museum to visit for its meticulously preserved buildings, but there was
never a lace display or special textile storage area in my day (and we
never
did get to Bowes Museum...) Yet another reason to try harder to get back
to
the UK for a visit soon!
While I was reading your account and indulging in a bit of nostalgia for
"home", my DH got in from work and rushed to show me an article he'd seen
in
the online Telegraph Newspaper from the UK (his personal nostalgia fix.)
So Spiders, if you like to scrutinize British costume dramas for their
authentic (or otherwise) use of lace, have a look at this site, for a
taste
of something to come and a great idea for helping a real, live, lace
industry:

(Sorry about the long addy, if it has to be stuck together again.) Here's
the Foundation's site, given in small print at the foot of the Telegraph
article, for more pictures of Sri Lankan lace and lacemakers:

Enjoy!
