Update: Thank you for the reminder that like the US, Canada and Australia also have histories of making lace! Also, I feel I should include South Africa as well, as there is even a monument to a lacemaker that I have seen photos of in SA. Question: does New Zealand have a lace tradition? What about any other African countries with lace traditions?
Also, I will add Japan and the Philippines, because although their industries were small and introduced by missionaries, they do have histories of making lace. I have friends in Taiwan who make lace and where there is a lace school in Taipei, but I wonder if there is a long history there or if it's recent? I can ask them. Thank you very much to everyone for your rapid and thoughtful replies! I will reveal the purpose of creating this list in another email, with more questions for you all if you don't mind!
