The 98 Lace Group
Welcome
The 98 Lace Group is a fellowship of lacemakers with varied textile backgrounds, united by a common goal of giving modern lace a livelier public profile. The group was set up following a meeting in London in 1998, although members are distributed throughout the British Isles, maintaining contact through our newsletter — ‘Network’. We offer an annual residential weekend with a workshop led by a well-known tutor in design or textiles and allied crafts. Additional meetings are arranged regionally at exhibitions, museums and other events, with the aim of inspiring members to produce original work, pushing forward the traditional boundaries while demonstrating the relevance of lace today.Selections of lace that the group has exhibited can be found on our Gallery pages. Gallery 1, recently mounted, is of lace at the 2008 exhibition in the De Morgan Gallery in London; while Galleries 2 and 3 feature lace from previous exhibitions in 2007 and 2004, respectively. A CD featuring lace from the exhibition at the De Morgan Gallery is also available.
