Gail Baxter and I spent last week hanging the Piper Shepard
lace exhibition at the Crafts Study Centre and the Foyer Gallery at Farnham. They
both look stunning with the 3D chambers in the Foyer and the 15 foot long ‘pillar’
in the Crafts Study Centre as well as seven other large pieces of Piper’s hand
cut lace on muslin. The first visitor wrote ‘wonderful, wonderful, wonderful,
well worth the trip’ in the visitors’ book and she had had a 2 hour rail
journey. I will blog more and add more pictures later. Gail and I are now both
working on the conference ‘Lace: the transgressive thread’ which will be held
at Farnham on Friday 16 May. There are a few places left if you would like to
come. Piper will be talking about her work and there are also talks on lace
history, contemporary lace and lace archives. It promises to be an interesting
day.
