This week I started learning some new lace techniques, Idrija Lace from Slovenia. A beautiful bobbin lace, took a bit of time to get my head around it....it will be a while before this one is finished. Thanks to all at Goil Ireland for organising such a great event!

Needle Lace at the National Gallery of Ireland. Full house last Saturday with lots of lace enthusiasts. Thanks to all who attended, the education team at the gallery and to education intern Aisling Dunne for the wonderful tour of Vermeer and her help throughout the day. Here are a few pics..... #VermeerDublin #NGIeducation
