Clones Lace Summer Workshops
The Clones Lace Summer Workshops take place each June at the Ulster Canal Stores in Clones. Irish Crochet Lace artist and instructor Maire Treanor directs the workshops; she and guest instructors guide students in the design of traditional and modern applications of Clones Lace: motifs such as the Rose, Shamrock and Thistle, as well as in the execution of the Clones Knot filling stitch.

Famous quotes containing the words lace and/or summer:
“Will you buy any tape,
Or lace for your cape,
My dainty duck, my dear-a?
Any silk, and thread,
And toys for your head,
Of the new’st and finest, finest wear-a?
Come to the pedlar;
Money’s a meddler,
That doth utter all men’s ware-a.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“What is green? The grass is green,
With small flowers between.
What is violet? Clouds are violet
In the summer twilight.
What is orange? Why, an orange,
Just an orange!”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
