We are celebrating the Highland year of culture in 2007 and the Inverness Lace Group is participating in a very exciting project, namely making lace for a large piece of community textile art. Lacemakers, quilters, spinners, weavers, dyers, feltmakers and embroiderers are all contributing towards this piece of work.
Last night, at our monthly meet, Joan Baxter - a texstyle artist - who designed this piece of work came to speak to Inverness Lace Group about our lace contribution. If you want to read more about the project you can go to the following website: http://www.highlandarttextiles.co.uk/index.htm. We will be making the wind turbines you can see under the third panel (the last panel on the right). The project will be unveiled on the weekend of the 31st August, 1st and 2nd September and during this time members of the public will be invited to classes held by the various 'disciplines' (for want of a better collective word <grin>) which brings me to my request: Inverness Lace Group (or Highland Lace Group as the project renamed us) will need to have a lace tutor on hand for Sunday - someone who can perhaps showcase his/her own lace work, hold an informal class etc. Any volunteers from the British contingent of Arachne? We can contribute to your costs and provide accommodation.
