Hallo All.
In 1980 Elena Holeczyova came to England and having seen only one or two
laces of hers, I was eager to meet her and offered to translate from German
into English. We stayed with Margaret Hamer. The big day came when all the
crates were unpacked in the presence of the Authorities.

Apart from learning to make lace she had to go to an art school and a
textile school ( higher education).
I don't know why the countries behind the Iron Curtain put such an
emphasis on art and craft skills, but there is no denying they did.
I was a museum docent during an international tapestry
