For anyone in the Ottawa area, I thought you might be interested about this exhibit.
The Embassy of the Republic of Hungary is pleased to bring you an exhibit of Halas Lace in cooperation with FRAMED!, and we invite you to come and see these wonderful examples of Hungarian art and culture. This lace has been created for more than a century in the small town of Kiskunhalas, Hungary. Woven from whisper thin fibers of a Saudi Arabian water plant, these works are stunning in their incredible detail, and have won awards around the world rivalling the best lace of Venice and Brussels. For those with an interest in world textiles and highly refined handwork, this exhibit offers an opportunity normally open only to those traveling to Eastern Europe.
