Friends of Lace

Friends of Lace is a volunteer group formed in 2017. Its mission is to bring Limerick lace to public attention  by cataloguing and researching existing artefacts in museum and private collections and  creating teaching resources and support novel interpretations and uses of Limerick lace.

On the long term, the group would like to see the establishment of a lace study centre within the Limerick Museum.
