Description
French lace makers are artisans who handcraft lace originating from France. They weave intricate patterns using bobbins or needles, supplying decorative materials for high-end fashion, interiors, wedding dresses, and more. Work is mainly done in workshops or ateliers, involving not only pattern-based lacing but also material selection and color combinations. High attention to detail and concentration are required to maintain quality, and as proficiency increases, they handle more complex designs. Inheriting traditional techniques while adapting to modern needs through arrangements and learning new methods is also important.
