Aragon Lacemakers: Keeping Lacemaking Alive
Bobbin Lace is integral to the history of Bedford as it was a major local cottage industry. The Method of making laces hasn't changed but the style has, bringing lace up to date with modern trends.
Aragon Lacemakers have just celebrated their 45th anniversary and are delighted to display a variety of contemporary laces made by members; from bracelets to gloves and coloured pictures to garters.
There will also be plenty of opportunities to have a go at this fascinating heritage craft - it's easier than it looks!
