Heard Up North: Making lace by hand

Listen to this story
There are any number of labor-intensive crafts that have faded away, replaced by time-saving mechanization. Some of the devotees who keep the old techniques alive are eager to share those skills.

For today's "Heard Up North", one of the Guild's members took a break from teaching the public to talk about why she likes the hobby.
