The History of the Lace Guild

Lace Guild Northern Ireland commenced in 1987 - founder members Mrs Thelma Goldring and Susan Taylor (née Latham). 

The Guild is now in its 35th year. 
​
The aim of the Guild is to encourage and nurture the making of Lace, especially the Irish Laces,  so that future generations do not lose the art of making traditional lace in Ireland.

​
The third weekend workshop is held at
