On the first page of the convention material in the Bulletin, Winter 2011, there is a place where it says, to display lace, contact Sheila-Llyn Van Nederveen at [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) . I have displayed lace in the past, and as I recall, you have to tell them what you are bringing, its size and often you must assign a value for insurance purposes. It is important, I think, to tell them in advance because they need the sizes of the pieces in order to arrange how the tables will be laid out. People often display pieces they have made, and also antique pieces. Devon In a message dated 7/24/2011 11:27:40 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Hello, all - I've been reading messages on this list for quite some time, but I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've posted. I've been making bobbin lace for a number of years, but this is my first time attending the IOLI convention, coming up in just a week in Bethesda, MD. I have a question about the display room. Do people bring lace to put on display and share with others? Or is it just for those entering the competition and the teacher's showcase? I can't find anything about this on the Convention website and a few internet searches have brought up pictures of previous Conventions where it seems that there is more on display than the competition entries and teachers' work, but I'm really not sure. Perhaps you need to be invited to display something? It just occurred to me this morning that I have a couple of nice lace pieces framed and it might be nice to share them with other lacemakers out there...but only if this what is done. The fact that it is NOT posted/published that you should bring things to share leaves me feeling a little unsure. Any info would be greatly appreciated for this convention newbie! thanks, arlene in NJ (who is looking forward to her lace adventure in a week!) - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
