Sylvie I only know that Rauma was an important bobbin lace making area. I think the lace was largely torchon with some guipure elements. I suspect Kortelahti's work style derives from that tradition.
Try a search on Rauma pitsi and you will find some things. Pitsi is Finnish for "lace". Lorelei - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected]. For help, write to [email protected]. Photo site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacemaker/sets/
