One of my bobbin lace students will be moving to either Amsterdam or Utrecht this summer. I’m hoping that someone will be able to give me some information about lace groups in those cities that I can pass on to her. Thank you Jean in Glasgow where I’m hoping the rain has finally stopped - To

Re: [lace] lace groups and meeting rooms

One local lace group here in Ottawa rents a room in a Senior's Residence. We used to meet at an old Town Hall but it became too small as the group grew. The current location is still not ideal, but is bigger. One of the reasons it isn't ideal is because there is an extensive library which has

Re: [lace] lace groups and meeting rooms

I belong to two lace groups, both of which meet at local libraries. LACE have a meeting room that we have to pay rent for which is covered by our dues. I believe we are now up to 40 members including one man. My other group, Land of Lincoln Lacemakers, have a free room at another library on

Hi Everybody: Speaking of meeting rooms, how does one go about finding one? Some groups I belong to have found free or close-to-free meeting rooms in draughty church basements, windswept parish halls, and one community centre pre-school (the meetings are in the evening so the room is

Re: [lace] lace groups and meeting rooms

How to find a meeting place. that's an ongoing problem. I belong to four lace groups and a sewing group. Over the years we have faced this problem several times. The largest lace group has met in a classroom in a fabric store and in a community center since I joined it. I think they met

I teach at a university and was able for several years to use for free a classroom with large windows and lots of light. We also had use to a kitchen and a large mezzanine where we could sit and chat. Our problem was parking until a local church let us park all day for a very reasonable fee. The

Re: [lace] lace groups and meeting rooms

To Lyn, who asked about how and where to find meeting space... It usually pays to have connections when you're looking for a place to meet. Loyal church members are sometimes waived the sextant fee, particularly if they also volunteer for church projects. The local public libraries in our

Hi All, The local Campbelltown Group meets twice a month on a Saturday in the Country Womens Association rooms for a modest fee. I am sure there is a similar type organization in other countries. One son in law's grandmother, a quilter of renown from southern Indiana in her time, was a member

[lace] lace groups and meeting rooms

Our group has a variety of fiber arts represented. We meet in a smallish room where each person has only a little table/floor space. It's very normal for some people to bring a compact project such as knitting, crochet, tatting, or knotted lace instead of a larger bobbin lace pillow. I tend

My youngest student is moving to Tidworth, Hamps and wants to carry on making lace in company. Can anyone give me details of classes or groups in the area. She has a car so can travel some distance if required. Let's not lose a young one! Looking at the map Andover, Salisbury and Marlborough

The LACE group does come up in a search of Lacemaking although the Bobbin Lace Lovers one does not. Just for the record, I was actually signed-on, on Ravelry, as I am a woman of many identities :-) so I was not searching from outside the site. There may be super secret private groups on the

Hi everyone I've recently started a lace group with some friends. We met at a local class which no longer runs. We meet in a community centre where we get a reduced rental as the room isn't used much during the day. We've got 9 signed up members if we get more we'll be able to reduce our

Yes, lacemakers are indeed special. But I think it's important to remember that we come in all shapes and sizes and backgrounds - and genders!! Today, the college student who mows my yard came inside at my invitation for a tall glass of ice water, and saw my lace pillow. He asked what I was
