Idrija, 20 December 2012
Just before Christmas, on 20 December 2012, the presentation of a major monograph on Idrija lace took place at Gewerkenegg Castle in Idrija. The book was first envisaged as a companion catalogue to the Idrija Municipal Museum’s permanent lace exhibition, but eventually grew into an extensive monograph. Twelve female authors contributed; I authored the chapter “Technological and design development of Idrija lace.”
With its publication, Idrija positioned itself—also in professional literature—alongside other important European lace centres. I believe the book will be of interest to both lovers and expert connoisseurs of Idrija’s lace heritage and its contemporary practice.
