A Chat with Elena Kanagy-Loux X VAWAA

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

As part of our ongoing monthly speaker series, for April, we chat with Elena Kanagy-Loux, a renowned lacemaker, historian, founder of Brooklyn Lace Guild, Collections specialist at The MET, and the woman who made one of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s lace collars. She is also the creator of LaceTok, bringing what some may mistakenly view as a lost or dying art to a whole new generation via her wildly popular TikTok videos.

Join us as Elena shares more about her love affair with this fascinating and meditative art. This talk is for anyone curious about lace, vintage fashion or developing their unique aesthetic, creatives working towards lacemaking skills, and those interested in learning the revival of endangered arts. VAWAA is a welcoming space for everyone, so join us anyway!
