Abstract
This paper explores the lace design pedagogy that developed in Nottingham during the first half of the twentieth century. It draws on teaching material and student work collected in the Nottingham Trent University Lace Archive and examines three sets of material in particular: portfolios of student drawing; a collection of lace draughts composed for teaching purposes; and student designed lace samples. These materials are records of a learning process influenced both by a national education system and the local lace industry. While the former were concerned to reproduce a canon of ornamentation obeying certain design principles, the later needed designers possessing specific technical skills and the ability to copy and adapt existing designs suitable for mass production and consumption. Lace design pedagogy encompassed the 'principles' of design, the 'technique' of design and the 'business' of design. In each of these fields, students learnt by copying, so that copying was, to some extent, both the method and the outcome of Nottingham lace design education.
