The Teaching Centre of Le Puy Lacemaking
The context
Based in le Puy-en-Velay, the Bobbin Lace Learning Centre was created in 1974 by Mick Fouriscot.
The Centre keeps growing since its creation, just like the public's interest for creative activities, and especially those linked to art like the lace.
The Learning Centre has been playing a major role for the renewal of the handmade lace as well as the associations promoting its development. It eventually helped to relaunch the fabrication of all the necessary equipment and the edition around the lace theme.
The Bobbin Lace Learning Centre is member of :
- "La Société d'Encouragement aux Métiers d'Art" (society of support to the crafts)
- "Groupmain" (French federation of lace and embroidery)
- IOBNL (OIDFA) : International Organization of Bobbin and Needle Lace Volunteer Fondation
- Foundation Volunteering
- Heritage Foundation
