Creative Communities on a Shared Island : Laces of Ireland 

The project focuses on supporting collaboration and exchanges between lacemaker groups and heritage institutions on the island of Ireland, led by Limerick City and County Council in collaboration with voluntary experienced groups Friends of Lace Limerick and the South Armagh Lace Collective and Limerick Museum, Armagh County Museum and Cork Public Museum. 

The long term goal is to create and promote a lace trail through the majority of historical lacemaking centres on the island of Ireland. This project provides a joint calendar of coordinated events focused on August Craft Month in 2024 and 2025. A digital platform (Laces of Ireland), a trail map and a shared events calendar will be created.
