Kantcentrum

TIME : 2016/2/18 16:42:32

The Kantcentrum displays a collection of lace in a row of interlinked old cottages. The centre’s main attraction is that in the afternoons (2pm to 5pm) you can watch bobbin lace being made by informal gatherings of experienced lace-makers and their students who gather to chat and work here. Once you’ve seen how mind-bendingly fiddly the process is, you’ll swiftly understand why handmade lace is so very expensive; a small piece costs €10.
