Leather, Linen, and Lace

 

Leather, Linen, and Lace

Leather, Linen, and Lace explores the beauty and craft of fabric, in this case leather, linen, and all the manifestations of lace including needle, bobbin, tatting, crochet, and pulled thread in cotton, silk, linen, and synthetics. Pieces range from the early 19th to early 21st century. Most amazing is a pair of Battenberg lace gloves from the mid 1800s. At the center, at 6:30 and 7:30 pm during the Third Thursday Art Walk, April 18th, Cathy Jennison gave a short talk on the history and culture of lace.
