Re: [lace] Festival of Lace - Australia

[Jenny Bargh]

Afternoon All,
I am very quiet on this list though the lace festival  here in Sydney
certainly has got my attention. I am a member of the Embroiderer’s Guild
here in Sydney and look forward to seeing it all in reality very soon. 
The gallery space has only been opened for a short time, then Covid hit and
everything got shut down. April does an amazing job of all our exhibitions in
our new space. 
For those of you that are unable to come in reality, Gary’s Fiber Talk
videos are on YouTube and this lace exhibition one is amazing. April has been
working hard to put it all together at Gallery 76. The exhibitions change
about every month to six weeks, and April does a video tour for each one for
Gary’s Fibertalk show. They are all on YouTube for viewing pleasure. 
Jenny in Sydney.

Hello All

This Festival was originally planned for June last year and was
postponed until now because of Covid. I have been involved very
marginally and made one of the panels on the front of the building and
also contributed a couple of circles which have been hung in trees in
the neighbourhood. I am hoping to travel from Melbourne to Sydney for
the Conference weekend and to see the exhibition. In Australia we have
no Corona virus in the community and it only takes one case of a worker
working in Hotel quarantine to be infected for the borders between
States to be closed , so I have my fingers crossed that that does not
happen.  April from the Embroiderers Guild who appears in the Video has
done a wonderful job of putting this exhibition together.

Hello, all -
There is an amazing lace exhibit happening now at Gallery 76, Embroiderers'
Guild NSW in Australia. (I think I've got this right to say that the

Gallery 76, but forgive me if that's not exactly correct.)
Fibertalk - twice a week needlework podcasts and sometime live video

gallery this week. You can watch it

There is also an exhibit program available for download
here: https://www.embroiderersguildnsw.org.au/events/festival-of-lace-2021

Our own Elena Kanagy-Loux is a speaker at the conference happening later this
month.
The Australian Lace Guild also is a part of this as well. Do we have any
Australians here that were involved in this exhibit and can share with us?

Do know, Brian we all care for you too and hope you stay healthy! I would never 
describe you as “slack” and I am delighted you have found something delightful 
to do outside!

[lace] Update from Brian

[Brian Lemin]

Hi All,

I think its confession time.


I have been so slack with research and writing during Covid even though 
(comparably Australia has done well). The truth of the matter is that i 
pretty well have a Collectors Guide to "Honiton" bobbins ready. Covid 
has really held up the Downton Guide, but a fare amount of work has been 
done on that too.



The trouble is that after those two projects are on the net the majority 
of topics on bobbins we have covered.   A few more articles will come 
out from time to time I am sure as it is a topic that really has "No end"?



Meantime i am making and flying RC model gliders (Slopesoarers)


What is of importance is that IOLI has accepted the Lace Biography of 
Marian Powys I wrote and part one "could" be out in the next issue.  
Then part two an issue in the future.



She was English, a brother to the literary  Powys brothers, went to 
America and became a world expert on lace.( Particularly Devon lace)


An amazing lady whose individual abilities and success was overshadowed 
by her  brothers achievements.  Hers are just as good and she was as 
successful as they were.



Please look after yourselves, you have been good friends of mine for 
many years, Your help, support and generosity in donating me images has 
made my contribution possible.



Re articles. I/we (she who remains in the background of all my work) 
have no objection to articles published on the Arizona site being used 
as long as you attribute it and do not make any changes  to them.  You 
must be warned that those articles reflect my journey of learning about 
bobbins and my early writing was based on quite sparse knowledge and 
research. We hope we are getting better.
