    Guipure lace, despite its name, is a type of embroidery rather than lace, and so is sometimes known by its proper name ‘guipure lace embroidery’.

    Lace, with some variants known as ‘thread-lace’, covers a broad family of openwork fabrics, including net. The fabric often has strong cultural roots, and particular regions and countries are famous for the different techniques used and the complexity and design of the finished products. While lace was traditionally handmade, machinemade lace began to appear at the height of the Industrial Revolution and mechanized lace production is still developing today.

    a magpie – gather all manner of information in the form of samples of colour, postcards, images, bits of packaging, smudges of paint, snips of fabric, corners torn from magazines, press cuttings and magazine tears, addresses and information about exhibitions and fashion blogs – anything that reminds, records and inspires your creativity. However, whatever else goes in your sketchbook remember that the clue is in the name – you should sketch in it!
