Minnesota Lace Society

Minnesota Lace Society The Minnesota Lace Society was established in October 1977 and is still actively sharing our love of handmade lace with fellow lacemakers and our community.

The Minnesota Lace Society was established in October 1977 in order to provide education of, by, and for the membership and the public concerning all aspects of lace. We do this through monthly meetings, workshops, special classes and public demonstrations and other events. All types of lace makers and lace making are welcome. Some of our members collect antique lace, others enjoy making tools others use, while some paint lace designs while all of us are students always learning new techniques about our favorite type of lace.
