The Lace Museum, a treasure trove of antique lace and lacemaking knowledge, is expanding its digital presence to share the artistry of antique lace with a wider audience. Founded in 1976 in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, the museum houses over 10,000 pieces of antique lace, thousands of lacemaking tools, and a vast archive of lace-related documents, samples, and ephemera.
One of the museum's latest offerings is an online/on-demand video series focused on lace identification and history. The series consists of four roughly hour-long introductory level video lessons, designed for those interested in antique lace study. Titles include "Understanding and Reading Lace," among others. These lessons provide foundational knowledge and are offered online by the Lace Museum.
However, specific pricing for these on-demand video lessons is not explicitly stated in the available search results. Interested individuals are advised to check The Lace Museum's official website or contact them directly for the exact pricing and purchase options.
The museum's mission is to educate the community about the fine art of lace making through exhibits, shows, and community events. In addition to the online video series, the museum offers workshops in various lacemaking techniques both on-site, online, and on-demand.
