A notice has come to me of a meeting by the North Cheshire Lace Makers Lace Day that I'd like to attend. It says the speaker is Jan Gardiner, and the topic is "A lacemaker's lot is not a happy one". I'm guessing this would be about current lacemakers, because this is in the present tense. Short of paying $thousands to fly to England, the only way to learn what she has to say is to request a report from someone present at her talk. Please - even if you are a lurker and do not want to write directly to Arachne - write to me.
http://www.nc-lacemakers.co.uk/ Some of you may know of a lacemaker whose life needs to be remembered. A very good example is on the website of the North Cheshire Lace Makers, which invites you to look at the page celebrating the life of Sue Willoughby. (Something like this could be adapted for local news media - and can inspire others.) I have put a paper copy in a small binder in my library, so it will be a kept tribute on this side of the Atlantic. This would be such a good project to emulate - for every lace person who has been an influence on your lace lives. Think about it. And be one who shares. Thus ends my sermon-of-the-day.
