I’ve always been interested in lace and years ago I was interested in learning to tat, I was about 19 at the time and I didn’t know anyone who knew how and any books I could find were not very helpful so I gave up the idea.
While we were in Finland last summer we visited the town of Rauma and it just happened to be Lace Week!
This girl was demonstrating the art, it was fascinating! I’m not sure that it’s something that I’ll be taking up though!
Old Rauma was fascinating, it has a population of over Six Hundred. Nearly 30 hectares of aged wooden houses are from the early 1700’s. A total of 600 buildings narrow and narrow winding streets and alleys and irregular lots. Many of the buildings have become shops but there are still many that are peoples homes.
It was fascinating.
No matter where we girls live…..some of us have to have our workshops!
