Ruskin Lace
Delicate, textured, and historically inspired.
Ruskin lace is a form of needle lace named after the 19th-century art critic John Ruskin, who praised craftsmanship and decorative arts.
This technique emphasizes intricate motifs, fine textures, and layered stitching to create lace that is both elegant and richly detailed.
Ruskin lace often combines various needle stitches, such as buttonhole, twisted, and woven stitches, to produce raised patterns and dimensional effects. It is traditionally worked on even-weave fabric or directly in lace motifs, offering a highly artistic and refined result.
This lace style is perfect for decorative linens, heirloom pieces, and wearable art, allowing lace makers to explore both precision and creativity in a historical technique.
A kit and notes will be provided during the workshop, including everything you need to complete the pattern.
