Why I Make Lace

I love the process of lacemaking. Despite being a slow and time-consuming activity, I enjoy the quiet moments of concentration and focus. In addition, I appreciate the simplicity of materials: bobbins, threads, pins, and a pillow.

Making lace is like solving a puzzle – every stitch has a purpose and adds a small bit to the whole picture. There’s a lot of room for experiment and improvisation.

For me, lacemaking is a lifelong learning process. I have started with traditional techniques trying both braid and continuous bobbin laces. I can work equally good on a bolster pillow, holding hanging bobbins in the air, as well as on a flat pillow, moving bobbins on the top of the surface.

However, I never limited myself to one style or stick to tradition. I continue to investigate different possibilities in lace, and I am drawn to the creativity involved in the lace community. New ideas, techniques and materials are constantly emerge and evolve.

As I continued to explore and learn, it inspired me to create my own lace designs. Through my works, I hope to share a vision of beauty, simplicity, and human connection – about the world around me and my place in it. Ultimately, I believe that lace has a part in my life and in our ever-changing world.

This website is created in order to keep track of my works and share my lace journey with you. You can find my completed works in Portfolio. In this Blog I will write about different lace related subjects like: work processes, lace inspiration, personal lace stories, etc.
