My family is planning a trip to the region of Liptovsky Mikulas in Slovakia where my grandparents are from, and I am interested in finding any opportunity to see the lace of the area while I am there this coming Fall - late September or October. It is in Northern Slovakia, the area of the High Tatra mountains, quite close to the Polish border in the area of Zakopane.
In the book “Slovenska Ludova Palickovana Cipka” by Veronika Geciova-Komopovska the lace of that area, including the village of Bobrovec where the grandparents were from, is quite different from the lace in other parts of Slovakia. It is a continuous bobbin lace, white, and reminds me more similar of Swedish lace. I’d really like to find out how it came into favor there, the history of it, and if any is still being made or worn in that area. Can anyone help?
