Background
The second oldest and largest mercury mine in the world (closed in 1995) has shaped the lifestyle and local economy for centuries. Bobbin-lace making was introduced into Slovenia from the Czech and German lands of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy more than 300 years ago; the first mention goes back to the year 1696. Idrija gradually developed its own techniques and design patterns. In 1876 a lace school was established and its activities achieved European dimensions. Lace was exported worldwide the same as mercury. During the last decade the Municipality of Idrija has encouraged the establishment of the Idrija Lace brand, supported by the Interreg programme.
Programme
During the festival a national lacemaking competition is held for children and adults, leading to the presentation of the Ivanka Ferjančič Award (initially supported by the EU Culture 2000 programme).
Exhibitions are held mainly at Gewerkenegg Castle in Idrija and the main one in 2010 sums up the role of this craft for the local community in the past – Wealth For the Rich, Blessing For the Poor. Each year the festival features also exhibitions of international lace (e.g. Belgian Bevern, Hungaria Halas lace, Estonian lace). The collaborations with fashion designers and schools are encouraged (e.g. the exhibition Lace: Tradition in the Modern World in 2003 by the Department of Textiles, University of Ljubljana).
The festival is accompanied by the international lacemakers' gathering, workshops, demonstrations, competitions, concerts and outdoor parties.
