Lace Unravelled Symposium
Wollaton Hall - Thursday 15 March
Newstead Abbey -
The Lace Unravelled Symposium reflects on the multiple perspectives of lace as a product, an industry, and an inspiration for contemporary creativity.
It brings together curators, lace industry experts, academics and artists from the UK, France and Australia to share knowledge about lace and lace making, within the historical context of lace making in Nottingham.
Delegates will have the opportunity to engage in an exciting programme of talks, demonstrations, artists’ projects and tours of Nottingham City Museums and Galleries’ world-class Lace and Lace Machinery collections.
This two-day event takes place at Wollaton Hall, a masterpiece of Elizabethan architecture and home to Nottingham Industrial Museum, and Newstead Abbey: the ancestral home of the poet Lord Byron, which also houses the Costume, Textiles and Lace collection.
An evening reception at Nottingham Castle will introduce delegates to plans for the Castle’s new permanent exhibition about Nottingham Lace and, on the eve of the Symposium (Wednesday 14 March, 5pm – 7pm), delegates are invited to the launch of the Lace Unarchived exhibition at Bonington Gallery, Nottingham Trent University.
