[lace] Hardwick Early Lace course Date change

I heard late yesterday that the date of the planned Early Lace course at Hardwick Hall in June this year has had to be brought forward - the room had been double booked. The course will now take place over the weekend of 9/10 June 2018. I'm really sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Re: [lace] Identification of Dutch lace needed

Devon, When I read your initial post, I immediately thought pottenkant, but then I looked at the photo... I hesitate to argue with Joepie about Dutch lace, but first, I think pottenkant is actually a narrow category, a Dutch lace with a crudely stylized pot and flower, and either 5-hole or

Re: [lace] Identification of Dutch lace needed

Thanks Joepie. I feel like Potten Kant is a larger category dealing with different laces featuring a flower pot design. Am I wrong about this? This is a very unusual, to me, lace. It does not have any kat stitch or point de Paris type ground in it. Only linen and half stitch. I can’t find it in

Hi fellow Arachnids, This is likely to be “Potten kant”. So called because it features pots of flowers in a very densely worked lace in the Netherlands during the early 1700. Joepie in chilly East Sussex, UK. Subject: [lace] Identification of Dutch lace needed There is a puzzling piece in

[lace] Identification of Dutch lace needed

There is a puzzling piece in our collection. It is a flower basket. The cloth work is dense linen stitch. The background is entirely half stitch. I KNOW that someone has told me that this is some special, recognizable form of lace. But, I don’t recall what they told me. The information, which I

RE: [lace] Identification of Dutch lace needed

Dear Lorelei, Thank you for all these links. Yes, those are what I would consider Pottenkant! The piece I am talking about has a flower pot on it. But the technique is totally weird. It may be Pottenkant because it has a flower pot on it, but I think there is some additional descriptor that would

RE: [lace] Identification of Dutch lace needed

Devon I'm afraid my usual complaint applies here, too. That is a really bad photo, impossible to tell anything about the structure from the photo. I can't even tell if it is a part lace or a straight lace. However, I don't think it is pottenkant. That form does have the mirror image in the design.
