Lost In Lace

Last Tuesday Neil and I went to Birmingham to see the Lost In Lace exhibition.
These pictures are of the floor in the Gas Hall and I know that Pam in particular would like to see them.
The Gas Hall itself is a beautiful building and well worth a visit.





The exhibition was amazing, it doesn't finish until the 19th February so there is still time to visit.

There are exhibits of traditional lace on show, how it was made and its uses; and there is modern interpretation. The artists have played with scale and there are some very large pieces, the exhibition certainly challenges the uses of lace, and the way that you think of it.

So pleased you enjoyed the exhibition Angela. I'm ashamed to say I didn't even notice the floor!
