Lace is a decorative art that stands out for its delicate details and fine craftsmanship. This art, which has been passed down from generation to generation among women for centuries, refers to the creation of elegant pieces adorned with patterns and designs embroidered on fabric. Lace art, in addition to being a tradition made by hand, also plays an important role in fashion and home decoration today.

Lace art has been practised and developed in many cultures throughout history. Lace was born in Mesopotamia, which was home to the beginning of culture and social life. Mesopotamia is the region where the Sumerians, one of the oldest civilizations in history, and later the Assyrians and Babylonians lived. These civilizations were the communities that developed and popularized lace art. Archaeological findings show that there have been examples of lace in Mesopotamia since the 3rd millennium BC. Lace art was used in clothing decoration and home textiles in these periods. After its beginnings in this region, different civilizations such as Ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, and Medieval Europe have added their own touches to lace art. Especially in the 16th and 17th centuries, lace production became an art considered a symbol of wealth and status. Today, lace is considered an expression of craftsmanship and creativity.
Lace is produced using a variety of techniques and materials. The most common types of lace include needle lace, crochet lace, and machine lace. Lace-making is a process that requires patience, attention, and skill.

Lace art expresses itself with many unique features. First, lace pieces are adorned with fine craftsmanship and details. Carefully woven patterns and designs give lace its elegant and aesthetic appearance. Lace is often used in white or light colours, but there are also lace examples in different colours. This allows lace to adapt to different styles and tastes. Lace can be used in clothing, home textiles, accessories, and even wedding and special event decorations.

Lace is a handicraft art that reflects the magic of fine craftsmanship and details. This art, which has been passed down from generation to generation among women for centuries, still retains its popularity today.
Lace is one of the most precious pieces of dowry that is passed down from mothers to daughters in all cultures. This is because the artist who makes the lace pieces, often mothers or grandmothers, transfers their experiences to the lace during the creation process. In addition, the soul of the person who wears the lace is absorbed into the lace, making it a romantic transmitter of stories between generations.
