Lace Day 2026
Saturday 6 June
Saturday 6 June
Looking back 'Lace Day 2026' was an enjoyable occasion with a good selection of suppliers and an extremely interesting talk by Jan Tregidgo entitled 'Contemporary Lace Textiles'. Jan came with an interesting selection of her work which combined bobbin lace with textile art.
The Lace Competition this year was for a 'Textured Piece of Lace'. Louise Ludgate won the prize for 'Best Technical Entry', and Pompi Parry won the prize for the 'Entry you would most like to take home'.
A cheque for £1000 was presented to Patience Saunders, a trustee of Downright Perfect, our charity for 2025-26. This was an outstanding amount and was boosted by lace equipment donated and sold on the Sales Table.
