More than 250 lace makers from different parts of Spain gathered yesterday in the Plaza de España, in San Javier, on the occasion of the XIV Encuentro Nacional de Encajeras de Bolillo San Javier.
A market with all kinds of accessories and an exhibition with works already completed, completed the day that was opened by the mayor, José Miguel Luengo and the mayor of Culture, David Martinez, with a defense of tradition and craftsmanship and welcome the participants who had the local association Abomar as hostesses.
Throughout the morning, the lacemakers were doing their jobs in front of the public who could learn more about this difficult art of embroidery.
The meeting also served as coexistence and sharing among the fans who exchange tricks, knowledge, designs and new ideas with which to move forward in a work whose apparent difficulty hides a simple mode of relaxation, according to the lace makers.
