About Us
We are an active group of members who share our passion for lacemaking and speak the language of lace! As a group we have a wealth of knowledge and resources and willingly share them with others.
Our lacemakers create beautiful handmade lace using many different techniques, collect antique lace, and some make tools others use. All of us are students and always learning new techniques about our favorite type of lace or a technique that we've never tried before. In addition to the business meetings, we may get together for lace days - sometimes at a group setting, such as "Lace at the Library" or even at each other's homes. We generally continue to meet during June, July, and August although no business is conducted during these sessions.
The Minnesota Lace Society was established in October 1977 in order to provide education of, by, and for the membership and the public concerning all aspects of lace. We do this through programs, workshops, special classes, public demonstrations, monthly meetings, and other events.
The Membership year begins on September 1st. If you'd like to join us and help us in our mission to provide lace information in the community, please fill out the Membership Form and send it in. All types of lacemakers and lacemaking are welcome.
Our business meetings are the second Monday of the month at 6:00 p.m. from September through May. Each session has a lace-related program at 7:00 p.m. We always have Show and Tell to share our lace creations!
