In 2024, Matej Pisca founded the World Lace Festival held in Piešťany and Krakovany, Slovakia. He was its creator, screenwriter, director, producer, manager and director. Delegations from 16 countries attended the event. Due to its success, it was decided that the festival will now be held biennially and will travel to a different host country each time.
In 2026, the festival will take place in Poland, August 6-9. In this Lace Lecture, Matej will describe the Slovakia event and give us a preview of the event to be held in the towns of Nowy Sącz and Bobowa, Poland.
An invitation to register for this Zoom webinar will be sent to all current IOLI members a week before the event.
