Following on from the news that Bobbin Lace Making is now on the ‘more endangered’ list of Heritage Crafts, one of our lovely members did an interview with BBC Nottingham.
Here is the link to the article on their website:

Heather Harris is a life member of the Nottinghamshire Bobbin Lace Society and is a past president. She is also one of the few local teachers we have. If anyone is interested in learning or teaching bobbin lace then please get in touch with us on admin@nbls.org.uk
The endangered list is shown on the Heritage Crafts website:

Lets not let this become more endangered – lets get the word out there.
We are demonstrating lace and you can even have a go (so you can actually see it isn’t as difficult as you think!) atthe following locations:
Nottingham Industrial Museum in Wollaton Park on the 1st Sunday of each month (April to September)
https://nottinghamindustrialmuseum.org.uk/
Brewhouse Yard Museum on the last Sunday of each month

Plus others throughout the year including 6th July at the Sherwood Community Centre as part of their 75th Anniversary AND part of Sherwood Arts Week:
