Why lace matters:
Did you know that lace-making helped people survive starvation during the Great Potato Famine? From 1845 to 1851 over 1 million people starved to death in Ireland. Out of this tragedy, lace-making as a cottage industry was born, with destitute women producing exquisite works. Monied English women embraced the lacework, actively supporting the efforts of the lacemakers. The support of this textile art saved millions of women and their families from starvation.
