Lacemaking has gone all organic this month. Here at Adventures HQ I have been captivated by the lace art work of Hungarian artist Agnes Herczeg. Herczeg
* I love the delicacy of Peggy Osterkamp‘s fiber work. Once an apprentice to Jim Ahrens in a production studio, Osterkamp has introduced hundreds of students to weaving theory and production weaving.
Centred around found objects and recycled textiles you’ll create fabric forms that are pieced together to make your own fibre sculpture.

Hungarian artist Agnes Herczeg creates figural lace works of female forms, capturing figures in moments of contemplation or work. In one piece the subject stands at a loom, appearing to weave herself from the included fibers. In each of her works Herczeg uses all natural materials, incorporating small pieces of wood or other found materials to serve as a sculpture’s bed frame, hair accessory, floating vessel, or small shelf. Herczeg studied textile conservation at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, and over the years has gathered several methods of embroidery and lace-making to use in her work such as needle lace, pillow lace, macramé, and more.

Well the weather outside is awful but myself and 6 ladies were busy working in my studio today creating some wonderful stitched hangings. As the rain lashed down we were busy printing, ripping and stitching. The perfect way to spend a rainy Saturday I am sure you will agree.

Starting with vintage photography and illustrations of models sporting fashions from the 1950s, Amsterdam-based artist Hinke Schreuders applies a rich layer of hand-stitched embroidery, beading, lace, and flourishes of ink to entirely new images that can be both unsettling and exuberant. The pieces seen here are part of an ongoing series called Works on Paper, started in 2008. With her work Schreuders says she seeks to “subtly confuse notions of feminine vulnerability and reinforce the position of embroidery as an artistic medium,” something I think we can all agree she has done masterfully.

"My art works are made of flax and the working method can be compared to painting and drawing, but the 'paint' is the fiber that is normally used e.g. as a base material for oil paintings. In addition, I use stitching to form 'drawn' lines and rice starch as a binder." - Raija Jokinen Raija
