Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lace, like silver or porcelain, can be classified by type and its date and place of origin often can be identified. But in the absence of marks giving maker or date, lace must be judged on its technical features and style. This new edition gathers fascinating and useful information in an easy to read and well-organised text covering needlepoint laces, embroideries, lace knitting and tatting, and bobbin laces made in Europe from the 16th century forward, including 19th century revivals. Each type is described and illustrated with hundreds of photographs and line drawings to show the technical characteristics and particular regard to the way one lace compares with another. A glossary, notes on cleaning, care, and conservation, and a price guide make this an essential reference for lace makers, designers, and lace collectors alike.

Book excerpt: A catalog of an exhibit held at the Hunterdon Art Museum, Clinton, NJ, Sept. 23, 2018- Jan. 6, 2019. The exhibit displays contemporary fiber art made using lacemaking techniques, principally bobbin lace and needle lace. Forty-one works by twenty-eight artists representing eleven nationalities explore the range of effects possible from these very fluid textile techniques. Bobbin lace and needle lace techniques developed in the late 16th century and evolved rapidly with the demands of aristocratic fashion. No longer economically viable for use in apparel and housewares these sophisticated techniques are being used by artists in a variety of fibers and filaments in unlimited colors and textures to interpret their world. Lacemaking techniques are very mathematical in nature, appealing to artists with mathematical and scientific training. Many of the works in the show explore scientific subjects and philosophical questions posed by living in a highly technological society. This exhibit combines the work of contemporary lace pioneers of the lace revival of the 1970s with exciting new work by a generation of artists who were impacted by them. An essay, Czech Contemporary Lace and Mil¿a Eremiá¿ová, by Dagmar Beckel-Machyckova, tells the fascinating story of how Communism nurtured the Czech contemporary lace movement, providing a uniquely nurturing setting for creative lacemaking to flourish during the second half of the twentieth century. Lieve Jerger's essay, The Carriage of Lost Love 1977-2018 describes Jerger's work making a life size carriage in copper wire bobbin lace, a project that is still ongoing.Other artists include Manca Ahlin, Jane Atkinson, Daniela Banatova, J Carpenter, Choi+Shine, Jill Nordfors Clark, Pierre Fouché, Laura Friesel, Alex Goldberg, Maggie Hensel-Brown, Ágnes Herczeg, Ros Hills, Veronika Irvine, Nava Lubelski, Dorie Millerson, Penny Nickels, Wako Ono, E.J.Parkes, Lenka Suchanek, Lauran Sundin, Olivia Valentine, Nicole Valsesia-Lair, Denise Watts, Louise West and Ashley Williams.

Book excerpt: What is that lace? How old is it? Has it been made by hand or machine? What would it have been used for? These are the types of questions that this practical guide sets out to answer. Lavishly illustrated, it shows you how to identify the sort of lace that you might find hiding away in drawers and cupboards, or buy at a vintage textile fair. It deals predominantly with the hand-made and machine laces of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Topics covered include an introductory survey of the different types of lace, their history and construction; guidelines for a systematic approach to lace identification and advice on cleaning and storage; chapters on the different types of lace: bobbin lace, needle lace, craft laces such as crochet and tatting, machine lace and lace based on tapes and nets. There are exercises on distinguishing similar pieces of lace made using different techniques and there are illustrations of how lace has been used and of some of the tools used in the making. Written by experienced lacemakers Gilian Dye and Jean Leader, it presents items from their own collections to illuminate and inspire others who wish to know more about this fascinating textile. Lace Identification is a complete guide to the beauty of this stitch craft, and will richly reward all those who study the treasures they may own.
