The traditional Irish crochet pinwheel lace design in the research costume was photographed, enlarged, traced, scanned, and recreated using wood and laser-cutting technology. “Lace Connections” by @KathrynMcS @ATUStAngelas. Kathryn was assisted by Stuart Lawn from the FabLab Maker Hub ATU Sligo & ATU St Angelas and www.makerhub.ie. The work was part of a recent TRACtion exhibition in Sligo, Ireland. Workshop participants responded freely to traditional costume designs and motifs and developed artistic outcomes using various media, including clay, music, wood, and textiles.
