Contemporary lace makers are an eclectic and diverse group of textile artists who are furthering the art and craft of lace and textiles through pushing the boundaries of traditional lace and textile practice.


I am excited by the practice of lacemakers who seem to live predominantly in the Benelux countries.  The Experikant group website is well worth a visit. Please visit the links page to explore more the world of contemporary lace.

I had the tremendous privilege to attend a contemporary lace class prior to the OIDFA Congress at Groningen. The tutor was the talented Nel Butter.  Her work as well as other members of the Experikant group were on display at the Museum at Zwolle. The exhibition Hollandsche Kant was superb and well worth a visit. LOKK have published Hollandsche Kant: met passer en liniaal (Dutch Lace: with compass and ruler) to coincide with the exhibition.

Marie Visser displayed pieces of her ‘Raster in Kant’ during the Congress at Groningen.


What I found most beneficial from the Congress was to renewed my acquaintance with a certain methods of working contemporary lace which I have found refreshing , challenging and inspirational.


You can discover more about the world of lace by being a member of OIDFA.

The Deutscher Klöppelverband (the German Lace Guild) magazine Die Spitze and Knipling i Danmark (Danish Lace Guild) magazine and the LOKK (Netherlands Lace Guild) magazine  are all excellent resources.
