a companion to...
inspiration for Lace Designers

friends of lace

For something slightly different...
But nontheless just as inspirational, this site is devoted to outstanding bobbin and needle lace designers: to those who have mastered their craft and challenge the boundaries of originality and creativeness.  We will introduce them and show you some of their work in our galleries.  Each of our friends has a page showing their portfolio and area of expertise - these will often include case studies to spark your own inspiration or patterns for you to experiment with.  You may also find patterns and projects that you are able to buy direct from the artist.
