Synopsis

Moving beyond familiar associations of lace, this guide explores the medium across a full range of colours and materials, from paper and fabric to thread and even concrete. Thirty step-by-step projects are supported by clearly illustrated instruction, introducing techniques including bobbin lace, needle lace, needle weaving and drawn-thread work.

Alongside the practical making, the book includes features and historical asides, plus tips designed to encourage experimentation. Some projects incorporate unconventional approaches such as papier-mache, while others work with ready-made lace, either as the main element or as an addition. Suitable for textile artists, fashion designers and embroiderers, with techniques presented for beginners.
