Visiting the Textile Research Centre in Leiden
I have been following the Textile Research Centre on social media for a while. When we decided to go on a trip to The Netherlands and spend a few days in Leiden, I contacted dr. Gillian Vogelsang-Eastwood and organised a visit.
Dr. Vogelsang is working on an Encyclopaedia of Embroidery, and several of the Irish laces will be included in an upcoming volume.
I wanted to look at the collection of Irish Crochet Lace, as there were a lot of interesting pieces represented in the online catalogue.
