We are happy to be a part of the festival and to display a small number of our laceworks. We make lace out of love, and we don’t find anything too difficult. We don’t mind coming to the meetings, carrying heavy lacemaking pillows, sit for hours on end, and make lace at home – just so that a lacework is as beautiful as possible. We enjoy watching the fruits of our labour and we love to plan the future. For us, lacemaking is more that holding a finished lace. Much knowledge is needed to make even the easiest of parts – not to mention years of learning and practice to master the more complicated techniques. There is always more to be learnt: new stitching, new threads. No wonder lacemaking is such a passion – we are always drawn in by new challenges. We also love to meet; there is true friendship with Idrija and its lacemakers. This love has long since been passed on to us by Ms Anka Perak Šebenik.
