Orla, who travelled from to Tralee to the Clones Lace Summerschool, is a brilliant ambassador for us, winning the ’set the picot free’ competition for her beautiful doilie, which she started in Clones and finished a few days later.
On Saturday evening, we visited Swallow Studios as part of the evening activities and Kathleen Kerley gave us a demonstration on Carrickmacross lace. Later, Liz Christy demonstrated her hand woven Annayalla Lace, which is a lace technique that she has developed as a modern representation of County Monaghan’s heritage as the lace making County of Ireland.
Hi, I’m Maire and welcome to my blog on the Clones Lace Summer School which I organise every summer in the town of Clones, County Monaghan, Ireland. My next course will run from August 14th to 16th 2009.
