Friends of lace Limerick are delighted to announce the date of our 2025 Amazing Lace Symposium: 22 February 2025! Mark your diaries!
We are working on details at the moment, but we can tell you what we have so far:
- the 2025 edition of the Amazing Lace Symposium will take place at the Absolute Hotel on Saturday, 22 February 2025, from 10am to 5pm.
- a call for speakers and a call for workshops will be released soon.
- tickets will go on sale in early January.
- our keynote speaker this year will be Italian lace designer and teacher extraordinaire Paola Mateucci, who is specialised in ricamo su tulle (embroidery on net), a technique that appears quite similar to Limerick lace.
- we will have her keynote and a series of short talks in the morning, and lace-making workshops in various traditions in the afternoon.
This event is supported by Limerick City and County Council through the Festivals and Events scheme, the Design and Crafts Council of Ireland through the Network Support Scheme, and the Creative Ireland through the Creative Communities on a Shared Island programme.
