The Italia Invita is basically a huge trade show in Parma, Italy. It was originally a specialized conference on embroidery and lace. It now has expanded to include patchowork, quilting, felting, knitting and crochet, weaving, straw work and other techniques. The theme for the 6th event is ‘International Weaving’. Thus there are a large number of exhibitors and many courses and workshops. The only lace-related workshop I could find is:
Scuola dei Corsi Merletti di Gorizia
12 hour course entitled “Gioielli d’autore’. 250 Euros, held over the three days of the event.
