Canadian Lacemaker Gazette

The Gazette brochure is currently ON Hold, and is ready to include updated information when it becomes available. Below is the previous information:

Welcome to the Canadian Lacemaker Gazette website! Our Purpose is “To promote and encourage interest and excellence in the art of lacemaking.”

The Gazette publishes a variety of articles about lace, received from those who are interested in sharing their knowledge and experience with others. We cover local and international events, promote lace days, lace retreats, public demonstrations as well as travel to lace centres and visits to museums that include lace exhibits.

Lace related books received for review and new patterns are welcome and we appreciate those who support our efforts! A copy of the Gazette is mailed to participants (second copy to subscribers) with our thanks.

Our Five Metre Club/ Le Club cinq mètres has welcomed many participants over the years. Five metre projects were published in the Gazette when completed. A copy of the Gazette containing the article and an official certificate of accomplishment was awarded to anyone who completed this milestone! See the Five Metre Club information for details.

The Bookmark Club was launched July 1, 2018. Lacemakers were invited to send a photo of their twelve bookmarks when completed. They emailed the list of patterns and threads chosen for their bookmarks and received a copy of the Gazette edition and an official certificate to confirm membership in the CLG Bookmark Club. We encouraged others to join in the fun! see update below…

ON HOLD! Check back at a later time while we regroup and continue with the Gazette from a different location. We will be updating our information brochure. When ready, we will use a link below to view the brochure; print it landscape, 100%, in colour, two-sided (flip on the short side). Let’s continue to invite others to join local lacemaker groups!
