[lace] Lace as Art

Devon, may I refer you to the Spring 2011 issue of Surface Design? It was serendipitous that I was cleaning my studio over the weekend & found my copy. There are a number of examples that might be right up your alley. Artists include: Iveta Mihalikova, Silvia Federova, Lauran Sundin, Lenka

[lace] Lace as Art?

I too, along with other lacemakers, have been rather too busy to join this somewhat ridiculous discussion. Invited to the IOLI Convention in Indianapolis, I've been teaching some of the techniques that allow for ideas to be expressed in bobbin lace in a painterly manner. Is this Art? Dear me,

[lace] Lace as Art

I would definitely include Agnes Herczeg of Hungary in a show like this.  I own one of her pieces, and it is beautiful! Her pieces are a genius mix of needle lace and bobbin lace.  Check out her gallery. Her site is www.agnesherczeg.com Saving up to buy another piece. Enjoy! PegIn hot and humid

Re: [lace] Lace as Art

Devon, that’s difficult to answer. What is it keeping our eyes and being overwhelm from what we see? In my opinion it’s something perfectly personal. Therefor I can’t say what I would advise to work. To make lace works acceptable for public is to try again and again and to explain why you did

[lace] #3 - Supporting Young Lacemakers, Publicity, Networking

My views of what we must do to promote lace making are unique. At age 78, I'm interested in propelling us forward into the future and have been trying to donate my library to a museum research facility that will be more accessible than my home in Maine. It is a difficult task and (for me)

Re: [lace] Lace as Art

Devon, are you asking about American artists or from all over the world? In Holland I think of the members of Experikant and Ria de Ruiter, in the UK of Denise Watts. In America I know about Alicia Jane Boswell, who maken beautifull jewelry with bobbin lace. Happy lacing Gon Homburg,

Re: [lace] Lace as Art

That is a very difficult question to answer. A lot of that has to do with the 'eye of the beholder'. There have been a lot of things called 'art' where I would go 'really?' It seems to me that often it is about making a statement. Some things I really wonder why something is called art, like

[lace] Lace as Art

I guess I should be clearer about my motives for asking these questions. I am trying to put together a proposal for an art show in an art museum that will consist of pieces of contemporary fiber art made with bobbin lace and needle lace technique. The idea is to present works that show the

Re: [lace] Buying lace as art

I could not follow this file from the beginning on I am too busy at the moment. The last mail Devon sent us says exactly what I wanted to remark. When is a work an art work, who determine this? There is a saying in Germany "art comes into being in ones head“. Buy we things because they are

Re: [lace] Bobbin Winding

Watched the video, it looks really simple once you manage to make the tiny adapter. Saved it to my piniterest page for future reference. Right now I'm working with only 6 pairs so by hand will suffice. I wonder if those portable (sewing machine) bobbin winders would work with the technique too.

[lace] Bobbin Winding

I have just found this demonstration of winding bobbins on a sewing machine on Pinterest - it is in spanish (I think) but is easily understood. I don't know how to 'shrink' the url, so iwill give you the long one and hope that somebody will 'shrink' it for me.
