Bobbin Lace Demonstration

  • Henry Sheldon Museum One Park Street Middlebury, VT 05753 United States (map)

Nancy Pecca will demonstrate bobbin lace making and speak about the history of the craft, using examples and antique items. Nancy first encountered this craft form at age 12; however, she did not learn it until 40 years later. Since then, she has spent her time working on bobbin lace, and thus preserving this almost forgotten art. She also loves sharing her passion with others, and teaching.

This public program is in connection with our current exhibition, Variety Sew: A Sampling of Textile Tools and Devices. Included with Museum Admission, free for members and students.
