Tradition meets modernity
Modern influences of the present give lace as a trademark of an entire region a contemporary appeal. Young and old alike experience this in a new and different way in the courses at the Volkskunstschule des Erzgebirgskreis. Creative ideas with fine threads become reality with skillful movements under the guidance of experienced lace teachers. The integration of new influences, fantasies and techniques, modern and unusual materials makes lace making attractive.
