Malta lace at the Waterfront

Two Malta Lace Days are being held by the Malta Lace Guild in conjunction with the Malta Crafts Council at Valletta Waterfront this weekend.

The event will consist of a number of exhibitions showing Maltese lace, the sale of objects related to lace-making such as bobbins, silk thread and card weave and demonstrations of various lace-making techniques.

Other types of craft such as tulle lace and other lace objects from private collections will also be on display. A number of talks about the subject will also be held during the two days.

Lace-makers have been invited to bring their pillows and join in, as well as sell their own work.

The festival will be open tomorrow between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The entrance fee for members of the Malta Lace Guild is 50c per day on presentation of a current membership card, 75c for non-members while children under the age of 15 go in for free. A small souvenir will be given to all those attending.
