For over three centuries the skilful bobbin lacemakers from the Idrija region have been intertwining the snow white threads and passing their knowledge from one generation to the next. The lace was first made for decorating churches and liturgical attire as well as the homes and dresses of wealthier peasant families. <\/p>

In 1876 the Lacemaking School<\/strong> was established in Idrija and it has been operating ever since. Over this period, the Idrija lace has developed its recognisable shape. The Idrija women, most of them miners\u2019 wives, were paid poorly for making lace, yet this activity brought them some extra income, which is why they started doing this in large numbers. <\/p>

Even today, bobbin lacemaking is a popular pastime among many women and children. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
