Preston Lacemakers are a friendly group of people who meet to share their enthusiasm and enjoyment in the art and craft of lace, in all its variations. Our group includes young and old and beginners to experienced. Throughout the year we have talks about and workshops in both lace and other craft techniques. We also promote lace through exhibitions and giving demonstrations.

May, June and July meetings and A P-lace together

The committee has emailed all members regarding the planned meetings for June and July and about a Facebook group: A P-lace together.  As you are aware, the May meeting has already been cancelled.  The committee has decided to cancel the June and July meetings.  

The relevant excerpts of the email are shown below:

"I hope you are all staying safe and managing to make some lace.

Your committee has discussed the ongoing situation regarding Covid-19, and has determined that the best policy will be to cancel the June and July meetings. Even if the lock-down rules ease off, it is unlikely that it will cover large gatherings for a while yet.

I know that not everyone is a member of Facebook and even those that are, may not be aware that The Kantcentrum has published some patterns in a new group (A P-Lace Together). To date, there are 6 patterns and I have attached a zip file with working diagrams and prickings. If you would like them in any other format, or would like images of completed samples please let Andrea know. You do not have to be a member of the FB group.

The group information states:

A P-Lace Together (A place together)
In these difficult and lonely times it is great to have a hobby.
Our lace teachers design a strip every week, especially for 'APT'.
The intention of this group is to work on this together and share your results.
As soon as it is allowed back, we want to bring all these sides together at an exhibition in the Kantcentrum Brugge.
Edges can therefore still be sent to "Kantcentrum, Balstraat 16, 8000 Brugge"
Please always label the edge with name and address and email if you want your edge back. We can also send you an email inform about the exhibition.
If you want the edge back, add a cover (SAE) with your name and address on it.

Best Wishes & Happy Lacemaking"
