OIDFA (Organisation Internationale de la Dentelle au Fuseau et à l’Aiguille) is a non-profit organization based in France that supports the international community of lace enthusiasts and promotes the study and practice of lacemaking.[1][2]
History and Activities
[edit | edit source]OIDFA was founded in 1982 in France.[3] Its name stands for The International Bobbin and Needle Lace Organization. It promotes lace making through three main activities: 1) organizing conferences and workshops bringing lacemakers together for educational opportunities; 2) quarterly publications providing information on lace history, art, and community meeting opportunities;[4] and 3) connecting its members to museums for exhibitions of expertise provision.[5]
Publications from OIDFA include conference proceedings as well as lace techniques,[6] identification, and history including regional costume traditions that include lace.[7]
OIDFA organized a Congress every two years since 1982 in various European locations around Europe[8] until 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic prevented travel. It resumed organizing this event in 2023. The Congress celebrates the local lace traditions where it is held: for instance, the 2023 Congress in Nova Gorciafocused on lace traditions in Slovenia.[9] It also encourages learning new lace traditions, by encouraging lacemakers around the world to realize a pattern developed for the event and sending it for display.[10]
