[lace] Lace in India - Sulochona correction

Sorry -- but I had the wrong name in mind on the fan project.  It was Janya in Thailand, not Sulochona in India.  I was also told that when the fan was finished, it was mounted on gold fan sticks.  Wish I could see it! Alice in Oregon - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com

RE: [lace] Lace in India

In January 2014 ago we were in Cochin in Goa, a southern Indian state settled by the Portuguese. Nuns among the settlers made lace and the knowledge has been passed down. I bought a bobbin lace doyley in a shop selling lace and embroidered items by a local women's group so a few years ago lace

Of course, I was writing about Sulochana in my previous post. She was delightful. I shopped for bobbins and lace supplies for her here and in the U.K. She sent lovely hand-made Indian treasures in return. When her under-age-for-college son received a full scholarship to a university

Possibly the most well known teacher of lace in India was Miss Catherine C. Channer, at Scots Mission at Kalimpong, she was in charge of the lace school there for four years. She began giving lace classes in the early 1900's, unfortunately having to return to England in 1909 for health reasons

Re: [lace] Lace in India

OIDFA in Finland was in 1996 'cos that's when I was queried about our aluminium bobbins as someone won them in a raffle. We connected to the internet in August of that year and also when I joined Arachne. how time flies when one is having fun. Cheers, Shirley T. - still

Re: [lace] Lace in India

I think it was Sulachona who was on the trip from UK to the OIDFA congress in Finland, some years ago now though. If so, she was a keen lacemaker and a lovely lady. Sent from my iPad > > - > To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: > unsubscribe lace

Re: [lace] Lace in India

I'm not sure if it still happens, in the mid 1970's the Indian government were trying to support rural industries by selling their wares in government sponsored shops in touristy areas of India, such as Delhi and what was Bombay. I bought a number of items in these stores, dresses embroidered

detriment of future research. Early in Arachne's history, we had a lacemaker from India who had a Master's Degree from a London university. Her children were in university. She was employed by one of India's largest corporations. She made lace as a hobby. So, technically, handmade la

I didn’t see the show and I don’t know about the nuns, but just a few years ago I remember having a discussion here on Arachne about hand-made lace still being commercially made. There was some report - either on TV or in print, I’m not sure - that mentioned two places: India, and China. I

Hi Did anyone else in the UK see Sunday night's episode of the Good Kama Hospital? For those not in the UK this is a hospital drama set in in India. The opening shots showed nuns making bobbin lace to be made into wedding dresses. Is this accurate, is lace still being made for sale in India
