[lace] Lace Revival

[Elizabeth Ligeti.]

My earliest books were the 1970s version of the Margaret Maidment book, Louisa
Tebbs book (by the same publisher), and the little Amy Dawson book. Then we
got the Pam Notting ham’s mixed laces book, and Pam Robinsons book, and so
on.

I found some classes here in an outer suburb of Melbourne in 1977, just after
a trip back to England where I bought the Miss Channers book, and a few
plastic bobbins, as I had decided to learn lacemaking while on the trip. I had
done one small 9 pin edge with my Grandmother when I was about 19 but had not
followed it up. Suddenly I decided to have another go  , and with my early
teenaged daughter who was also interested we got started – I went to class,
then came home and taught her!! (well, she had to go to school every day so
could not come to Lacemaking with me!) – and we are both still making
lace!!!

 Kant Magazines were available – but not in English. And the Australian Lace
Guild was just starting up – and is still going strong!!

Regards from Liz.

[lace] Lace Revival of the 1970s

[Janice Blair]

I remember attending a Towns Womens Guild in November 1970 in Lichfield, Staffs 
where we had a talk on bobbin lace with a demonstration on a board using 
probably, skipping ropes with wooden handles for the thread and bobbins.  I was 
one of those who thought it looked too difficult and being heavily pregnant 
with our son, had no time for a new hobby, plus I was doing wood carving at the 
evening school at the time.  I think the idea stayed in my brain until I 
visited the UK in 1994 and saw a pillow kit in a craft shop.  So there must 
have been a local guild in the Lichfield area.

sure I never visited the “old country” as second and third cousins were going 
back to marry extended family members. Sicilian chain migration??) but his

Also in the 1950’s I was a Girl Scout Library aide and found *Bobbins of 
Belgium.* Don’t remember the author. The stories of post WWI Belgium were 
horrifying but they were trying to make lace an economic craft in the ’20’s.

My observation is that before the 60s America fully embraced the melting
pot model.  My own Grandmother, for example, was not allowed to learn
Norwegian.  She was the first in her family  born in the US, but expected
to only know English.  Preserving heritage from European countries was seen
by many as a rejection of being American.  After the hippie movement, this
attitude began to change.  I think there was some desperation to regain
what was lost by many people.  I also agree with the other factors you are
looking at.  None of these social shifts happened in isolation.

[Lorelei Halley]

I did talk with Doris Southard many years ago and she told me that she first 
heard of bobbin lace from an article in a women's magazine. (I don't remember 
which one -- one of the grocery store kind.) She had been a weaver and did many 
other textile crafts, but she was essentially "self-taught".  I also learned 
from her book. And earlier, from her correspondence lessons.

[lace] Lace revival of the 1970s

[Karen]

Very interesting stories in this topic. This is my own version. While in high 
school in Denmark, I saw my mother making bobbin lace. I think she learned it 
as a young girl in the 1910s. In the 1960s adult education classes were offered 
in communities in Denmark, and she finally had a little spare time. In 1974, 
after I had settled in Indiana in the US, I realized I had not seen anybody 
make bobbin lace here. So when my parents visited us I asked her to show me. 
She sent me Sina Kielberg’s book and soon after I found Doris Southard’s book. 
Working on my own from these books, I made very slow progress, especially 
because one was cross twist and the other twist cross. Very confusing for a 
total beginner. In the late 1970s a few friends and our children asked me to 
teach them, so barely one step ahead of them we made progress. We started the 
Lafayette Lacers. Guess this fits in with learning in Europe or from European 
teacher.

The Virginia Bath LACE book and also Golden Hands have been mentioned today.

Select Book Reviews from the menu on the Left.
 
When there are no new books I wish to review, the past offers possibilities.

RE: [lace] Mounting lace for display

[J-D Hammett]

Hi fellow Arachnids,

For white (powder coated) metal rings I use the rings for lamp-shades. Many
paper/parchment lampshades utilise a wire ring at the top and bottom. These
are freely availablein several sizes in craftshops as well as on the internet
(Amazon to name but one) I have just checked, Amazon has epoxy coated white
rings the 40 cm ones are around £16 to 17 for 5 and 30 cm about £11 for 5 and
15 cm @ £8 for 5 rings. “Dreamcatcher rings” will also get you there.

Happy lace making.

Does anyone know where I can find white enameled metal rings 5-8” in diameter
in which to mount laces to make hanging window decorations?  Metal, white, but
not silver or gold. I have looked through the internet without success.

Thanks for any suggestions.

RE: [lace] Lace Revival of the 1970s

[DevonThein]

Jo raises some interesting insights.
One thing she mentions is the crafts to leisure aspect. Originally there
seemed to be an ethos that one was practicing a “useful craft”. For
instance, you made a quilt because you needed a bed covering, or a doily
because every well kept house required doilies. At a certain point, I think
that the concept that you were doing this as a “chore” gave way to the
idea that it was a leisure activity that was fun, and might even be a mode of
artistic expression. Mass production really took the steam out of any argument
that you were doing this sort of thing because it was a housekeeping
requirement. I still recall that there was a time when people made their own
clothes to save money. But, when I touched base with a friend who taught
sewing about ten years ago she confirmed that it was impossible to make a
garment for as little money as you could buy one, and that most of her sewing
clients made their own clothes because they had unusual requirements, often
religious in nature.
Jo mentions that women typically left their jobs to have families in the 1950s
and by the 1970s they had empty nests. When I first went to lace meetings in
the 1970s, they occurred on weekdays,  running from 10 in the morning until
about 2:30 in the afternoon, because that is when the kids came home. Later,
in the 1980s and 90s with more women in the work place, this schedule began to
be problematical. But attempts to have lace meetings on the weekends and
weekday evenings didn’t work too well either because women simply had less
leisure time.

Re: [lace] Lace Revival of the 1970s - mystery book probably...

Dear Devon,
 
Perhaps the book to which you refer was Knyppling, 1964, published (in
Swedish) by LTs Forlag in collaboration with the Swedish Lace-Making
Association.  Author was Sally Johanson.
 
It was re-published with the title of Traditional Lace Making in 1974 in the
U.S. in English by Van Nostrand Reinhold; translators were E. and T.W.
Summers.  ISBN: 0-442-30037-9.
 
Sally Johanson was one of the founders of OIDFA, and one of its first
Presidents.

Re: [lace] Lace Revival of the 1970s

[Maureen]

My belief is that as it was featured in Golden Hands which I think was 
published in UK in 1969 and the older Lacemakers were asked to do  more 
teaching. The WI used to have craft classes I think. Boredom with commercially 
made items and a desire to learn, plus a little more money for hobbies?  Or 
people had progressed from knitting to crochet and wanted to try something 
else?  Not sure when you got it in USA but sure Jeri can answer.

Re: [lace] Lace Revival of the 1970s

[Adele Shaak]

Maybe a chicken-and-egg thing? The books inspire the students who provide the
market for more books … but what triggered the interest in the 70s in the
first place - I’d bet on a backlash from the super-modern 60s. There’s
only so much bright yellow and lime green Fortrel a body can take. I remember
mini-dresses giving way to midi-dresses and long romantic dresses fostered by
TV shows like Poldark and that Trollope thing that went on and on that I’ve
forgotten the name of. In the US, “Little House on the Praire” as I think
somebody has already mentioned. The back-to-the-land movement, the energy
crisis. Long romantic flowing dresses, full sleeves and cuffs that were just
the place for a bit of lace.

And then the publishers start looking around for other books on the same
topic, and to re-print old books that have lost their copyright, and so on. By
the way, I took a quick look at Margaret Maidment’s book on ABE Books - it
was originally published in 1931 by Pitman & Sons, then in the 50s in the USA
by Charles Branford, and then starting in the 70s by a host of different
companies (Paul Minet, Batsford, plus others) and today it’s available
through a large number of POD houses. It looks like it might have been out of
copyright by the 70s, though that seems a little early.

Re: [lace] Lace Revival of the 1970s

[H M Clarke]

Speaking from my family’s perspective, my grandmother learnt as a child in the 
1910s. This was at some local girls’ club in Suffolk. Then she married and had 
a family (obviously!) and lace was put away. When she was sadly widowed in the 
early 1960s she went back to making lace. She showed my sisters the rudiments 
of making lace in the 1970s (I was considered too young - or too difficult?) 
which she had never done with her daughters. 

I’m wondering whether others of her generation were similarly finding time in 
retirement to return to lace in the 1960s and 70s thereby kickstarting another 
revival?

Helen who originally lived in lacemaking areas in England before learning to 
make it in Canada!

RE: [lace] Lace Revival of the 1970s

[DevonThein]

Thanks for mentioning the Torchon Lace Company and the Princess lace pillow.
I would relate this to the early 20th century lacemaking ideas which included
trying to make lace for money, rather than leisure. Examples include the Sybil
Carter missions and Italian Lace School (cut work). But, surely there must
have been people left over from these attempts who were still around in the
1970s. These movements have parallels in Europe such as the Industrie
Feminilli.

St Louis had the Torchon Lace company. They sold bobbins, the Princess lace
pillow and booklets of patterns. We found them in 1904 sources but couldn’t
find any other information about them. The Princess pillow was in the Missouri
Historical Society collection.

I learned in 1981. Missed a class and learned several grounds from the DMC
book. Also found bobbin lace in the Readers Digest  handwork book. Crown and
Triangle from Doris Southard’s book was originally from Family Circle (or was
it Woman’s Day?) One of those grocery store magazines.

I consulted my notes which consist of a few writeups of Doris over the years. 
She actually wrote on a 2005 Arachne thread “How I Started lacemaking”
https://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/msg14763.html
She was an avid weaver and knitter when she first discovered bobbin lace in 
1950’s Woman’s Day magazine article. After teaching herself, she then 
demonstrated and  taught lace classes locally before eventually being asked to 
do articles and finally a book.
I have a few articles on her from past IOLI Bulletins (including Sept 1970, Jan 
1978, Spring 2009, summer 2006, and spring 2012) if you would like me to scan 
and send you a pdf.

However, there was a huge call for crafters during the Bi-Centennial. I
participated in the making of a quilt to commemorate Rockland Country (New
York History) and demonstrated at the re-enactment of the Battle of Stony
Point.
However the Back to Earth movement was very present as well. I still have
Alicia Bay Laural’s book Living on Earth, and Native American Funk and
Flash. Not that long ago I saw both of these tomes at an exhibit at the Museum
of Arts and Design, along with examples from a contest (that I remembered)
that was sponsored by Levi Strauss and that involved embroidering blue jeans.
The quality of the embroidery was spectacular, and so vibrant. In fact, there
was a garment by Jill Nordfors Clark in this exhibit, actually connecting one
of our American needle lace artists with this movement. I was in heaven. It
was quite amazing to see someone collect these artifacts, many still in my
“lace room” as part of an historical phenomenon. (Feeling old.) In fact, I
embroidered my own denim shirt with animals and war medals when I was a
teenager, sort of like Native American Funk and Flash, and my daughter has
claimed it.

There was also the US bobbin lace stamp (well 4 stamps) organized by Mary
McPeak.

Bu I can’t remember what year—1980’s sometime.

[lace] RE: Lace Revival of the 1970s

[DevonThein]

Lyn makes the point that airfare was getting cheaper so that there would have
been more exposure to lace. In fact, the first time I saw it was on a vacation
trip to Bruges probably in the late 1960s. I was an adolescent, and there were
girls my age making lace by the canals.

I have always thought it was the steamship that resulted in the first lace
collecting craze in the late 19th, early 20th century, when wealthy Americans
were able to travel to Europe with greater ease than previously.

RE: [lace] Lace Revival of the 1970s

[jo]

I too started in the 1970's as a teenager. Saw a demo on a local nostalgic
summer fair. Being crafty I wanted too try. Found a few books in the local
library, the local craft store happened to have bobbins in stock, improvised
a pillow and got hooked. 

Those days some crafty Dutch magazines published courses or patterns but I
did not have a subscription. In 1978s the LOKK was founded. Mainly by woman
from an era that expelled them from the working class as soon as they
married and then got an empty nest in the 1970's. What also might be of
influence was household chores becoming less elaborate with for example
washing machines resulting in more leisure time.
1914 http://www.kantklosschoolwijdenes.nl/ 
1954 https://internationalorganizationoflace.org/About/aboutus.html

1983 http://www.deutscher-kloeppelverband.de/index.php/wir-ueber-uns 
 http://www.bkoobd.be
 http://www.laceguild.org 

Comparing these dates, the 1970 seems to mark a transition from "nuttige
handwerken" (1) to crafts and leisure.
(1): an old fashioned Dutch expression for knitting/darning socks and
similar skills. At my primary school the girls still were taught these
"nuttige handwerken" while the boys...

[lace] Lace Revival of the 1970s

[lynrbailey]

One other factor in the 1970's is that airfare to Europe was getting cheaper.  
In 1960 when my parents and I took a ship ten days each way, to Europe, that 
trip cost as much as airfare to the same destination.  In 1974, my husband and 
I took a month trip to Europe and did an illegal charter flight to Europe, 
which was much cheaper.  I would imagine that more Americans were traveling to 
Europe, and being exposed to lace. 

It is interesting to note how one individual could inspire lacemaking in her 
geographic area.  That should still be a lesson to us.  Lyn from Lancaster, 
Pennsylvania.

[lace] lace, Bayeux tapestry

[Karen Thompson]

In response to the inquiry about the Bayeux Tapestry, I was reminded that I
might not have added that we now know who made the needle lace version of
the Bayeux Tapestry at the Smithsonian, and also approximately when. See
http://blog.americanhistory.si.edu/ or search Bayeux tapestry Smithsonian.
Thanks to Michel Bouvot of Caen, who found a catalog from Melville and
Ziffer with a piece that is almost identical, minus the lettering, that
they exhibited in 1906 in Paris. “Les Grandes collections de dentelles
anciennes et modernes'” Exposées au pavillon de Marsan, 1906 –
exposition
de l’union centrale des arts décoratifs - Paris.
They also stated in another catalog from the early 1900s they had
difficulty keeping up with the demand from Americans for this type of lace.
Just another interesting tidbit of lace history.

RE: [lace] Lace Revival of the 1970s

[DevonThein]

Adele makes the interesting point that it wasn’t until the 1970s that it
began to be possible to buy books published by mainstream publishers about how
to make bobbin lace.
She observes that her lace club actually started in 1955 but had huge
impediments due to the lack of  instruction and books. The IOLI also dates
from the 1950s. However, when I took bobbin lace in the 1970s I asked my
teacher if there was a book I could use and the only one she could offer was
in a Scandinavian language. Although she felt it was better than nothing
because of the photos, I was not really smart enough to be able to take
advantage of it.
Then Kaethe Kliot published her book in 1973 which was a very mind expanding
book providing a lot of inspiration, although, again on my part, I really
couldn’t learn from it. But the photos of her making a lace pillow,  and her
contemporary lace showed what was possible. Also, I enjoyed the photos from
the early twentieth century with lots of bobbins and more traditional
patterns.
Another source material for me was the Anchor Manual given to me by the mother
of a friend, my copy dating from 1970. Alas this was another book that I
tried, but failed to learn from. Nothing really worked for me except the
individual instruction that came with materials, tools  and patterns.
Obtaining the materials and tools was a major factor then. Fortunately
Gunvor’s mother ran a lace supply business in Tonder, so we never wanted for
these. I don’t think I could ever have taught myself from a book. It was
hard enough learning without having to overcome the obstacles involved in
getting bobbins.

[lace] Lace Revival of the 1970s

[DevonThein]

People are contacting me privately with observations which are very
interesting.
One correspondent believes that post war immigration of Europeans to the US
was a factor in the development of lacemaking here.
This is an interesting observation because there were a number of people who
were major figures in the 1970s who had learned lace in Europe. My teacher,
Gunvor Jorgensen, learned lace in Tonder, Denmark. It took me a while to
realize that she had not learned this as some kind of a folk progression
leading directly from the 17th century, but rather as part of a late 19th,
early 20th century government initiative to re-introduce this important
heritage craft to Tonder.
Kathe Kliot was a German refugee who was very instrumental in the California
lace movement. Radmila Zuman was from Czecholoslovakia. In addition to the
immigrants, Americans were learning the craft in Europe possibly during
military or other job postings. In fact, it would have been rather hard to
learn the craft in the US from someone who had learned it in the US in the
1970s, although it would not be the case now.

Re: [lace] Lace Revival of the 1970s

[Adele Shaak]

Hi Devon:

The lace club I belong to (Vancouver Lace Club) started in 1955 but it was
slow going at first because the ladies could only get instruction from a
lacemaker who lived up the coast  and only visited Vancouver once a year, to
demonstrate lace at the Pacific National Exhibition. She would bring patterns
with her and show the ladies how to make them. Books on lacemaking were rare.
Finding a new book on lacemaking - any book at all - was a cause for
celebration. Threads and bobbins were ordered from Theo Brejaart in Rotterdam
- in this era before credit cards you had to be really determined to learn and
to get your supplies.

Books:

Doreen Wright: 1971 “Bobbin Lace Making"
Pam Nottingham: 1976  “Technique of Bobbin Lace"
Doris Southard: 1977 “Bobbin Lace Making
Elsie Luxton: 1979 “The Technique of Honiton Lace"

They were published by big publishers whose books your local bookstore could
order. Once you’re into lacemaking, you find all the other avenues but only
these larger publishers got their books into the libraries where the general
public could find them - it was the picture on the cover of “Technique of
Bobbin Lace” that drew me to lacemaking in 1982.  I had never heard of it
before, and never seen any handmade lace. Earlier books that showed lacemaking
techniques were very basic (Th. de Dillmont) and were also difficult for
people, like many North Americans, who needed to get all their knowledge and
instruction from the book. In the early books the author tended to think that
the student had seen bobbin lace before and just needed a bit more
information.

Hope somewhere in all this is a nugget you can use.

Re: [lace] Lace Revival of the 1970s

[Maureen]

I too started lacemaking in The early 70s but I had seen it in Golden Hands and 
found a local handicraft group that were putting a class on.  Well I was going 
for embroidery classes at the time, but moved over to the lace class, 
supposedly for one term but which continued for a lot longer, to learn lace. 
Then the County Adult Education classes, I think, started in the mid 70s but 
also Doreen Wright wrote a book  on lacemaking and the Lace guild was started 
in 1976.  Suppliers then found that people wanted bobbins, I bought my first 
ones from Doreen Fudge who was at Luton Museum, and then lace days started 
which I believe encouraged more Lacemakers, which encouraged more classes.  I 
was also a member of IOLI about 1974 and only didn't rejoin when the Lace Guild 
started.  I started to teach lacemaking when the local teacher had a waiting 
list but didn't have enough hours or days in The week to start another class, 
but that was about 1980 I think.   And it was very much a case !
 of being one step ahead of the students at the time because there were gaps in 
the beginning laces I had somehow skipped!

Incidentally I learnt to knit whilst in primary school, was taught dressmaking 
at school and by my mother in law,  and taught myself to crochet in 1970 as I 
wanted to crochet myself a dress.  Suffice to say it was started at the top and 
very short!

[lace] Lace Revival of the 1970s

[DevonThein]

I am attempting to write a catalog for the Lace, not Lace: Contemporary Fiber
Art from Lacemaking Techniques.
The exhibit will include the work of Ros Hills, Lieve Jerger, and Jill
Nordfors Clark who I consider to have begun their activity during the lace
revival of the 1970s. If I were to try to establish a context for what was
happening in lace at that time, what are the most important things that I
would touch on?
Off the top of my head:
Last remnants of the lace collecting boom of the 1920s and the early 20th
century lace craft industry revivals.
Kathe Kliot and Lacis
Robin Lewis Wild and the large Tennessee Valley piece
The Bi-Centennial in the US, and its interest in Colonial Crafts
A generalized craft revival due to a variety of social and economic aspects,
such as a rejection of consumerism, the hippie movement, embroidered jeans,
macramé, string art.
The lace show at the Cooper-Hewitt, which was actually in the early 1980s.

I began to make lace in 1971, but I was not a very objective observer of what
was going on and how it fit into any kind of historical context.
What do people think accounted for and contributed to the surge of interest in
lace in 1970s? What should be included?
