Abstract

The bobbin lace is considered an ancient handcraft. It already exists for more than 500 years as we can see it at the city of Peniche in the country of Portugal. Of course, it hasn’t a linear story to write about the bobbin lace. It was weave as the same manner, using the same technique over the years, and the same material was been used, the cotton wire.

Following the new tendency of the world and using the skill that the technology brings to us, we are improving this ancient technique. With an interventionist methodology we introduce a new material. Replacing the cotton thread, we proposed to weave with the ceramic wire. Maintaining the same technique of weaving we got different results what bring to us the conception of new other objects.
