A condensed version of a 1985 lecture to the North Downs Lacemakers of Surrey, England, in which Aurelia Loveman argues that contemporary lace need not be large to count as mainstream art. She holds that lace appeals chiefly to the tactile sense, which favors small, intricate work rich in texture over the "think big" approach. She also discusses color and iridescence, especially in needle lace, using her needle lace fan "Espalier" as an example. The article ends with a short author biography and a note on the International Old Lacers.
