MEMBERS of the West Lancashire Lacemakers will be attending our show to demonstrate their lacemaking skills, along with finding out more about this group that was established back in 1979.
A bit of background to them... They formed in 1979 and meet on a Monday night, once a month, and have occasional Saturday meetings throughout the year. The membership organizes workshops with an experienced tutor along with 2 weekends away, each year.

The promotion and improvement of a high standard in the design and making of lace.
-
The presentation of fine craftsmanship in lacemaking.
