I hope you have enjoyed your visit to my world of lace, you may be interested in looking at
other sites relating to lacemaking and Irish culture.

Lace-related:

The Guild of Irish Lacemakers has several hundred members, worldwide, produces 3 lace Journals annually, also newsletters, and holds a number of workshop days with displays, sales of supplies and lectures. The Guild has hosted two week-long residential Lace Conventions outside Dublin, in 1995 and 1998. For more information, www.irishlace.org

The English Lace Guild - probably the largest single source of information for lacemakers worldwide, visit their website at http://www.laceguild.demon.co.uk

Malcolm Cox - A Dublin-based craftsman specialising in handmade Fansticks in any size, he produces all the fansticks I paint. He also offers a repair service for antique sticks - just be aware that he is always working at full stretch and will not be able to work miracles instantly, but the results will be well worth the wait. See his website at http://www.fansticks.com and http://www.connect.ie/users/mcox

Traditional Lacemakers of Ireland - A new group based in the south of the country, with particular interest in the superb Irish needle laces such as Youghal and Kenmare. www.tli.eu.com

Lacemakers wishing to enjoy my Irish Celtic lace designs may require a good selection of the latest threads. Please see Barnyarns at http://www.barnyarns.com
