Bobbin lace is Flemish heritage, but make no mistake, the craft is alive and surprisingly contemporary. See the bobbins dance in the Texture museum in Kortrijk. Here we make magic with thread during weekly bobbin lace workshops.

We are happy to teach you this finger trick during the workshop. Under the guidance of a pair of experienced hands, you will make a colorful ribbon. This way you will learn the basic principles of bobbin lace. You can take your own creation home as a souvenir.

Susanna Van Nes is a permanent teacher in the lace workshop of Texture, a museum of flax and textiles in Kortrijk. She supervises weekly workshops for both novice bobbers and experienced hands.

In Studio Texture, the museum’s studio, you can work with textile techniques and soft materials yourself. Here we pass on the craftsmanship of yesterday and today and use them as inspiration for applications and materials tomorrow. Be inspired by our workshops and masterclasses, meet other makers and get started with our tools and materials. In this way we are building an open and shared workshop for both professionals and enthusiasts, with time and space for sustainable, curious and future-oriented experiments.

This workshop is made possible by museum Texture.
