2012:
- 4
to 7 April 2013 First International
Symposium for young lace makers in Pavia,
Italy (south of Milan)
"Doily-Free Zone: Raising the status of lace
and lace making" . This symposium
coincides with Milan Design Week.
The symposium will be divided into three
categories; Lace and Tradition, Lace and
Design and Lace and Art and we are
accepting proposals for papers, works of art and
design, and workshops related to these themes.
Proposals are to be sent to the attention
of Angharad Rixon at info@textilesupport.it no later than Saturday
31st March 2012 and the successful applicants will
be contacted by Sunday 15th April 2012. A
complete programme for the symposium and related
events will be available in June 2012.
For
the purposes of this meeting we define
lace as a fabric in which the open
spaces are as fundamental to the design as the
solid areas and where this is interplay of holes
is an intrinsic part of the fabric’s
structure, for this reason we will not
accept proposals based on die or laser cut
“lace patterns”.
All lace makers who wish to present work or
research papers must be under the age of
40 at the time of the symposium, this is
not meant as discrimination but is rather an
attempt to focus on the work of a generation
which for various reasons is not associated with
the major guilds and organizations. The
symposium, however, will be open to all.
