Maker Faire Austin 2008
Lace Making

Austin Lacemaker's Guild makes, studies and collects handmade lace. We include all laces, such as bobbin lace, tatting, crochet lace, knitted lace and needle lace. Needle lace and bobbin lace are two of the oldest known types of handmade laces. Our guild along with many other lace guilds worldwide are trying to keep these dying arts alive.
