Tomorrow night lace enthusiasts in the vicinity of Richmond, VA will have the opportunity to attend an opening at Wilton House, an historic house maintained by the Colonial Dames, of the exhibit, Anywhere but Now. The opening, 6-8, free to the public, will usher in the exhibition which will be up until Jan. 15th, so there will be time to see if even if you don't go to the opening. Details of the opening are here: http://www.wiltonhousemuseum.org/event/openingreception Olivia Valentine was a finalist in the LoveLace exhibit in Australia. Her work in the LoveLace exhibit, as well as the Wilton House exhibit uses bobbin lace technique with an architectural bent. There is an interview with her at the following site, and also, what I think may be the Wilton House work in progress. The piece is based on the architecture of Wilton House. http://www.sculpturespace.org/sculpt-summerfall-2014/ Perhaps somebody would be interested to attend and tell us how the work is being received by the public. It is an exciting time, as bobbin lace is moving into the studio as fiber art. Perhaps it would be fitting to go to the Styx Restaurant, at the Indigo Hotel in New York for a celebratory toast next to the lace screen by Manca that we have all been discussing. Devon
