I have just recently updated my website  with some new scarves.  There’s some lovely spring colours and new styles.  I have woven some of these new designs with in lace texture, as a tribute to the lace making heritage of  County Monaghan.

Clones Lace Summer School Visits Studios

We welcomed a group of ladies last Saturday evening,  from the Clones Lace Summer Workshops. Maire Treanor organises and runs these workshops every year when she welcomes people from far and wide who have an interest in Irish Crochet Lace and in particular Clones Lace.

Carrickmacross Lace Demonstration At Swallow Studios

Like myself,  Maire is proud of the great lacemaking  heritage we have in County Monaghan and by way of telling this story and adding to her visitors experience, she brings them to Swallow Studios where Kathleen Kerley demonstrates the intricicies of the Carrickmacross Lace technique and I demonstrate how I design and make what I affectionately call ‘Annyalla Lace’. This is the weaving technique which I use in the making of my Celtic Tweed Collection

The group seemed to enjoy their visit here to the studios and I would be delighted to hear their  feedback, so ladies please feel free to comment!

And I have invited Maire to give evening classes here in the Autumn so watch out for the dates in The Northern Standard
