So, we have a lot of ways to increase the lace making population. I interject here the significant problem in the US, that most Americans have never seen lace being made, donât know what itâs about, and donât know anyone who makes lace.
Increase the variety of places where we demonstrate. In other words, Make Lace In Public. Engage knitters. I am amazed at how many lace makers also knit. Advertise. Often meetings and demonstrations can be advertised for free. Bring in the children. Find out where they are learning crafts and skills, and offer to teach them in a way they enjoy. Make beginning classes, the first class, free, or almost so. Wear lace. That way you can talk about it. Whoâs writing the book on lace on T-shirts? Demonstrate where the young are. Look into Steampunk. Ask your kids, or grandkids. Think of ways of making lace engaging to young people. Designs, add color.
