Hand-made lace appeared in Bohemia in a first-half of 17th century according to an archived source. The name of a lady from Belgium, Magdalena Gramb, was first heard in connection with the new Belgian lace patterns. After she became a widow, (her husband was Kaspar Gramb, the Regent of Potstejn Castle), she settled in the small town of Vamberk under the Eagle Mouintains. She then started to distribute bobbin lace work.

Since its infancy lace had been used as dress decorations and in building interiors of aristocratic residencies, and later its use has spread to the common people.

Lace is made by the crossing and bundling of lose threads wrapped on wooden sticks. The threads follow a pre designed pattern, which is fixed on a pillow called 'herdule'. The threads material is mostly cotton or silk. Gold and silver threads are also used in some cases.

The tradition of lace-making is being preserved by local women for future generations by passing the craft to their offsprings. Now it's Your time - You have the opportunity to decorate Your home or gift your loved ones.

And one more thing about me. At the age of 12, I learned to lace-making in a lace club in Letohrad from the lace school teacher Mrs. Králíková. Under her guidance, I created laces until I was 18 years old. When I was on maternity leave, I made laces for the artistic cooperative "Vamberecká krajka" as a domestic worker, today that way of working would rather be called a "home office". In later years, my son created a website for me, and since then my customers have been taking my lace as gifts all over the world. They make people happy in Europe, Australia, North and South America, Africa, Japan, Canada... My laces were also donated by the Czech Republic to the United Nations organization in Geneva, Switzerland at the end of our presidency.
