The lacegroup 't Aemstelkant was grounded in 1984 as the 4th lacegroup in Amsterdam
It then was and still is the only group, which meets in the evening. Originally the evening was chosen, because most of the members had a job, therefore meeting during the day was difficult.
The lacegroup is part of the L.O.K.K., the Dutch Organisation for the Art of Lace

In April 2003 there was a big exibition of all kind of arts made by non-proffessionals in Alkmaar. Theme of this event was mirrors. Our lace group was also present with a piece named "Spinnenspel" or "Game of Spiders". The piece was beautifull mirrored in the plate of plexiglass, placed on a dark underground. On this photo the piece was exhibited on our stand in the Julilee Festival of the LOKK. Unfortunately on a white fabric because of the bad light. |
