Hi Alice and fellow Arachnids,

Thank you Alice for this link. I don’t think you have been “dropped off” 
the list. It has been somewhat quiet.

Happy lace making,

Joepie in Sussex, UK where today should be a lovely sunny autumn day.

Ruskin Lace --
A friend mentioned she was going to take a class in Ruskin Lace.  I wasn't 
familiar with the lace so looked online.  There's a very nice explanation and 
samples on Elizabeth Prickett's webpage:

Needlelace people might be interested in giving it a look.

Hello Again!  I am writing to ask for counseling on Ruskin 
lace.  A friend registered for an EGA RL class (seminar this fall) 
but it was over-booked  she did not get a space.  I have lots of 
resources on needlelace that I could lend, including the Lace Guild 
booklet.  Also, am I wrong in seeing a four-sided stitch similarity 
with Casalguidi?  The E. Prickett site has lots of examples, so am I 
correct in thinking that it is the arrangement  placement of motifs 
that sets Ruskin apart from other types of needlelace?  As well as 
having been invented at a much later date than other types?  Will 
someone enlighten me?  Many thanks.  Susan, Erie, PA



To the best of my knowledge, Ruskin lace and Casalguidi are revivals 
of drawn thread work (the work that gave birth to punto in aria, the 
first true needle lace being without a fabric foundation).  As such, 
the authors of the revivals may have emphasized certain aspects more 
than others or developed certain stylistic interpretations but it is 
all the same type of drawn work, embroidery, and needleweaving techniques.

 I recently got a copy of the book, Ruskin Lace  Linen Work by Elizabeth
 Prickett.  It's a Batsford book, published in 1985.
 
 In response to your observation that I tend to think it's more of a
 needle-lace than anything else, but I am prepared to be told that I am
 completely wrong!, I offer the first sentence on the coverleaf of the book:
 In 1894 John Ruskin gave his name to a form of embroidery which was
 practised in the Lake District and which incorporated three forms of
 needlework: drawn thread, cut linen, and needlepoint lace.  It should be
 noted that the linen used for this work was grown and processed in the same
 region.
 
 So I think that you are not likely to be told you're entirely wrong!!  The
 lace part of the work is needle lace, but the drawn thread and cutwork are
 what distinguish this needle lace as Ruskin.
 

Dear Lacemakers,

Not long after this book was published, I toured the English Lakes District 
with a group of experienced embroiderers - members of The Embroiderers' Guild 
of America.  We spent several days in the company of Elizabeth Prickett, which 
included a class and her taking us around to see the Ruskin Laces.  She also 
showed her bobbin lace pillow, but I've never heard that she teaches it.

The English Lakes District is incredibly beautiful, and there are other 
tourist attractions to delight.  Souvenir bobbins were found in shops.  Had to 
ask 
for them - they were not out for viewing.  It was in this area that I 
purchased several deer horn bobbins, as well.

So far as I know, Prickett's book is the only recent one (and not so recent 
at that) devoted to Ruskin Lace.  If you love to make needle laces - it would 
be a very nice addition to your lace book collection.

Incidentally, anyone interested in making needle laces may be interested in 
checking the courses offered by EGA (and possibly embroiderery organizations in 
other nations).  They usually offer a range of classes via correspondence or 
at regional and national seminars that may be of interest to you.  They 
consider the needle laces to be part of the embroidery family, and since there 
are 
more members than there are in lace guilds, there is more instruction available 
for those who wish to make lace with a threaded needle.
