The New Lace Age

The New Lace Age explores the digitalisation of lace making
and how it shifted from a slow, handmade craft to an automated, and coded process.

The project reflects on the invention of the Leavers Lace machine by John Leavers and is heavily inspired by it’s use of Jacquard punchcards. This was created in response to the 2025 ISTD brief of ‘Milestones’.
