I have no excuse for missing this important event, and definitely will not next year. The agenda included a talk by Dr. Consiglia Azzopardi on “Maltese Lace Through the Centuries”, and a lecture giving instructions for the working of a traditional lace shawl (see the poster for a section of the pattern).
Equipment was provided for sale by the Koperattiva Ghawdxija tal-Bizzilla u Artigjanat, the Gozo Lace Cooperative.
Piecework Magazine is calling for article proposals for their 2015 Editorial Calendar. The May/June “A Celebration of Lace” (the 8th annual lace issue) proposals are due September 12, 2014. Details can be found here: 2015 Editorial Calendar
This event took place in 2013, http://tinyurl.com/l32o8fp. LaceNews reader Elizabeth Correa attended a master class at the conference and just sent two videos from that time. I put them in the comments section of the original event, take a look. This is a great chance to learn more about Brazilian lace.
