Also, my deep gratitude goes to Mrs. Nedjeljka Oros, president of Društvo paška čipkarica "Frane Budak" (Society of Pag Lace Weavers "Frane Budak", address: Ante Starčevića 9, 23250 Pag, Croatia), for her permission to photograph in the Museum of Pag Lace (in May 2014), and to publish the photos.
 | A systematic teaching of preparing the Pag lace on the island of Pag near the city of Zadar started in 1906 (cancelled in 1948 and renewed in 1994). But it is known that already in the 15th century the Pag lace has been prepared within the benedictine convent of St Margarita on the island of Pag. Hundreds of hours of patient work, without any mistake, are needed to produce a high quality lace. In the town of Pag there is a Gallery of Pag Lace (Galerija paške čipke), which we warmly recommend you to see it. On the photo dating from 1916, is a little Pag lacemaker. |
