Devon said What would be our artistic criteria if we were considering buying lace art? Personally, I like to see pieces which show mastery of technique, have interesting uses of voided areas, and do things that can't be done as well in any other technique. What do we like? Whose work would we buy if we were buying it?
Well I agree with Devon's criteria re mastery of technique etc. and if I had money to spare, I would definitely buy one of Pierre Fouche's creations. As for the Creative studios and library creative rooms, why does not one of the lace guild's donate a pillow and bobbins (plus a basic instruction book) to one of these places for people to try it out? We do not have such places in South Africa, as far as I know, but I think they are a great idea.
