Title of the lecture: „Haapsalu lace knitting – tradition and today” (45 min)
Haapsalu lace knitting is over 200 years old, and it is still in use nowadays as well. What has been happening in the past and what is happening now in contemporary Haapsalu, the town that has been titled as “the town of the quick fingers”? What about the latest ideas and activities about Haapsalu lace knitting? How is it being preserved for the next generations?
