We need to keep lace history alive for today's young lacemakers, who have not studied numerous languages. Even those whose grandparents spoke German are usually not learning that language in English-speaking nations. Laurie Waters has given her subscribers a long list of lace events in Spain - too long to repeat here. However, one of today's notices mentions a Lace Event in Austria on Sunday, April 10. The address Laurie gave to look at details is: http://tinyurl.com/z72f793 Since the contact is Leopoldine Winkler, and the lecture is "Spitzen der Wiener Werkstatte - Dagobert Peche" by Dr. Harmut Lang, it occurred to me that it would be nice if someone would translate this. My memory goes way back, and I know there are people on Arachne who are interested in laces made in this period in Austria. We own books by Winkler and Lang. Help! Someone! It is only one paragraph, but may contain valuable information for one of our lace researchers. If someone attends Dr. Lang's lecture, please give us a review.
