Re: [lace] Lace in Madrid and Rome
Hello Karen, I will be more than happy to assist you during your stay in Madrid. Do you already know when will you be in Madrid and what would you like to see? I look forward to hearing from you soon. Maria from Madrid 2014-04-13 1:46 GMT+02:00 Karen M. Zammit Manduca kazama...@gmail.com: I will be going to Madrid for two days in May and another three in Rome. Is there anything lace / embroidery worth pursuing. I tried finding something in Rome just over a year ago, but was unsuccessful - just checking in case there is something new, but I have never been to Madrid so have no idea. I'd be glad for any help.

[lace] Lace in Madrid
Hi Spiders, I just met a lacemaker who studied with the same teacher I had at the very beginning of my lacemaking days. She is mostly making Czech style lace with rather coarse linen threads. Her son will be going to Madrid to study and she was wondering if there are any lace courses in Madrid which she can attend when she'll be visiting him.

Re: [lace] Lace in Madrid?
Hello to all, I reply to the list as it could be of interest for other Arachneans going to visit Madrid. Vicky, I think that 6 hours in Madrid is not many time, whereas the subway takes you down town directly from the airport. As far as I know, there are no Lace Museums. (Antje, please correct me if I'm wrong). Craft shops: Almacenes COBIAN- Plaza Pontejos, 2 MADRID (very centre of the city) DON BOLILLO - Paseo de La Habana, 174 - 28036 MADRID Maybe Antje has some more info Have a good trip and I hope to meet you in a next time here in Barcelona!

Re: [lace] Lace in Madrid?
Sorry... made a mistake sending the message. Here goes the good one. Hello TwoHappyBees [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am afraid I must agree with Carolina: there are not many interesting lace related places in Madrid. Especially if you have only 6 hours (you will spend almost one hour from the airport to the center and another back). I personally would take a quick visit to the old center of Madrid, which is really lovely. But in case you only want bobbin lace... the shops Carolina has mentioned are the ones that have most things. In Pontejos there are always many many people... you have to wait a queu. And then the things are not exposed. You have to ask for what you want... so you need to have our ideas clear before your turn comes! There is also a Museum of clothes and costumes... from old times to modern times. It is interesting, and you can see some lace. There are also two private museums, which are really difficult to see. I have only seen one... the other one just impossible. At the Museum of El Prado, you can see lots of old paintings with lace on them. You can center on a particular painter, for example.. .as your time is limited. And as CArolina says, there is an underground from the airport to the city, which makes things easy. Hope this helps a bit.

[lace] Lace in Madrid?
Hello to all, My husband and I are off to Venice tomorrow evening for a stay there, followed by a cruise to Bari, Italy, several ports in Greece, and Dubrovnik, Croatia. Other than Burano, does anyone know of any lace-related shops, sites, etc. which we may be on the lookout for? Also, we have a 6-hour layover in Madrid in each direction. Is there anything anyone would recommend to see that could be done within that time window there? Sorry to hear from Pat that the Burano museum is closed and also sorry we are not connecting through Barcelona instead, Carolina! Thanks for any advice. Vicki in Maryland where we are having a beautiful Spring day with trees and daffodils and forsythia coming into blossomwe may miss the peak of the D.C. cherry blossoms while we are away unfortunately, but a small price to pay for a wonderful trip! ** Create a Home Theater Like the Pros.
