Bobbin lace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Many styles of lace were made in the heyday of lacemaking (that stretched possibly between the 1500s-1700s) before machine-made lace became available. Bobbin lace is a delicate lace that uses wound spools of thread (the bobbins) to weave together the shapes in the lace. The lace is held in place with very fine lace pins while being worked and is made on a lace pillow (a cloth form traditionally stuffed with straw or sawdust). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bobbin_Lace   (298 words)

Traditional Lace Making (Prairie Rose Lace Makers) Fors, who originally began the group to have company while she made lace, now believes that the group's greater purpose is to share the joy of lace making, and to preserve this art form for future generations. In the 16th century, the art of making bobbin lace originated in Genoa and Flanders, where it was practiced as a cottage industry for several centuries; some villages' entire livelihoods were based on lace making. This type of lace making is called "bobbin" because threads are wound around long, thin wooden pieces called bobbins, which are placed on a pillow holding the lace pattern. www.loc.gov /bicentennial/propage/ND/nd_s_dorgan2.html   (374 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Lace Imitation lace was shown at the Exhibition of 1851, and Nottingham now employs designers for lace of all kinds, and produces machinery for making the heaviest, as well as the finest, of modern laces. Needlepoint lace is also the specialty of the Poor Clares at Kenmare; the industry was founded in 1862, and beautiful lace was made for the Archbishop of New York and other prelates.

Branscombe Parish - The Lace Industry The theory that lace-making was brought to the area by Huguenot and Flemish refugees in the late sixteenth century has been increasingly discredited, in recent years. Bone lace was so-called because of the fishbones that were used to hold it in place on a square of parchment pierced with holes, which was the pattern. The lace was used for confirmation veils, baby's bonnets, collars and cuffs, bedspreads, doilies, handkerchiefs, napkins, placemats, runners, tablecloths, and edging for window-blinds. www.geocities.com /Athens/1491/lace.html   (1007 words)

Lacemaking For personal reasons I stopped making lace in 1990, and immediately prior to moving to Crete sold my enormous collection of pillows, bobbins, books and other items, many of them antiques.  Some were auctioned at Phillips, whereas others were sold privately.  Many of my books were donated to the local Public Library. In 1980 I was shown the few remaining examples of Winchelsea Lace that had been preserved in the museum of that tiny Sussex town, and I was fortunate enough to be able to study them in sufficient detail to be able to make accurate copies of the patterns. Fortunately, the quality of the lace is not affected by the quality of the equipment used to make it. www.homestead.com /janincrete/Lacemaking.html   (388 words)

Lace making in Potterspury In the 1890s the Midland Lace Association was set up under the patronage of Countess Spencer in order to 'Improve the local manufacture of lace, to provide workers with greater facilities for the sale of their work and more remunerative prices, and to provide instruction in lacemaking'. Mrs Chettle is believed to have run a 'lace school' and older villagers recall her riding around the village in a pony and trap collecting lace from the lacemakers who worked for her. Whilst it is therefore difficult to be sure of the exact origins of the various types of lace it is likely that they have developed from these early immigrants. www.potterspury.org.uk /vh/lacemaking.htm   (633 words)
