'Bobbin Lace' talk with Christina Mutch

 The talk went really well with loads of examples of friends of Christina and Lace group members work, along with some of Christina's own work and work from some of her young students.

It was a fascinating and interesting talk and the photos belong do not do justice of some of the exquisite samples of lace.
