the folklore side of lacemaking; Mr Hopkin has said that the interested public
are more than welcome, so here they are, with his contact details.

workshop, supported by the Folklore Society, brings together folklorists,
historians and museum curators from France, Belgium and the UK, to investigate
this work culture. Some papers will be in French.
