Australian Lace Guild
The Australian Lace Guild created the Nimble Fingers Award in 1996 to acknowledge and encourage young lacemakers in Australia. The award is offered every year at our annual conference.
Prizes are offered in two categories, being:
* Under twelve years of age at the closing date of receipt of entry forms; and
* Twelve years of age to under 18 years of age at the closing date for entries.
Please contact our Nimble Fingers Co-ordinator if you need more information.
We invite young lacemakers to prepare a piece of lace to be judged prior to and displayed at the 2021 Conference in Brisbane, Queensland.
The closing date for receipt of entry forms and fees is the 17th Aug 2021. Lace is to be delivered by mail by the 17th Sept 2021. Hand Deliveries are to be received by 23rd Sept 2021.
