Imagine…Lace at Waddesdon

Continuing our contemporary programme, lace-makers and selected artists have been invited to respond to the collection at Waddesdon. While lace and accessories from the 17th to the 20th centuries acquired by Baroness Edmond de Rothschild will be displayed, the new works are inspired by aspects of Waddesdon as diverse as architecture, automata, porcelain and panelling and will be shown in the historic interiors, challenging the traditional concept of lace. Imagine….Lace at Waddesdon has been organised by Waddesdon Manor and Lace 21, comprising members from the Lace Guild, the Lace Society and the Ring of Tatters. The group has a multi-faceted approach to lace, seeing it as an art form for the 21st century.
