The Australian Lace Guild was formed in 1979 in New South Wales to meet the needs of all those interested in lace.
The Guild was incorporated in Victoria on 20 August 1985.
The administration of the Guild rotates to each State (where possible) every three years.
The National Administrative Committee is currently in Queensland.
The aim and objectives of our organisation are:
- To promote lacemaking as a craft throughout Australia
- To bring together people interested in all forms of lace and lacemaking
- To provide a forum for the exchange of information on lace and lacemaking
- To establish and maintain standards of excellence in the craft of lacemaking in all forms
- For personal and public education
Our members include tool makers, collectors and historians as well as those actively engaged in making lace in many forms including bobbin lace, needle lace, tatting, macramé, crochet and other lace techniques.
There are branches in all States and Territories of Australia through which meetings, classes, displays etc. are arranged in both city and country areas. There are correspondence courses of particular interest to more isolated members. These courses are available to both members of the Guild and non-members.
For those wishing to further their studies the Guild has established its own proficiency tests and assessment for Teacher's Certificates.
For further information regarding membership of the Guild please go to the Membership Page.
