Description:

The video shows the ancient and precious art of lace making in Belgium, especially in the Flanders.

The origins of the art are dated back to the Renaissance but hundreds of craftswomen still work in Bruges nowadays. It is a very precise and slow process that requires hundreds of pins and a lot of patience.

Today, Belgian lace is sold as a souvenir, but its quality remains that of the time.
