Gozo Lace Supplement by Consiglia Azzopardi
This is a supplement to Consiglia's Gozo Lace: An Introduction to Lace Making in the Maltese Islands
​
Although we talk in terms of Maltese lace, Gozo is the centre for lace making in the islands and Consiglia is one of the main champions.

Similar in construction to Bedfordshire lace, the group of laces are often called Beds / Maltese.  

The key difference between Maltese lace and Bedfordshire is the inclusion of the iconic Maltese Cross in many of the designs.
​
Focusing firstly on the history of the lace, this book goes on to take you through different patterns to learn the techniques. 

Consiglia has also produced a book of historical lace patterns by Dun Guzepp Diacono and the book that this is a supplement to.

What works well?

• This slim volume contains only patterns and no techniques

Anything that we need to take into consideration?

• This book is out of print, however, it is possible to obtain copies from the author
