Friday, August 5, I got to spend one day of a three day Irish Lace Workshop at Steven Be’s with Maire Treanor, a quiet, delightful, expert teacher of exquisite lace! Oh my gosh!
Each little part is tacked to a
template and then all the parts are connected, usually with a chain and knot scenario.
Originally, each motif was specific to a single maker, or maker’s family. Trefoils by one family, flowers by another, and yet another would be the connector of the parts into the whole.
