Our TeamJosephina Lace’s TeamOur team work in “tune and perfect harmony” even being located in different parts of Brazil. They are designers, dressmakers, lacemakers, hand embroiderers, computer engineers, SEO and marketing specialists, photographers… THE MODELSSome of the models, both adults and small girls, are Brazilian. Others live locally - in the Stevenage/Letchworth/Milton Keynes areas. The small girls’ parents have kindly authorised Josephina Lace to use the images of their lovely princesses, which is very generous of them and most appreciated. PHOTOGRAPHER IN THE UKWe’ve had a few photographers, both in Brazil and in the UK, including Howard Treeby, who lives in the Stevenage area. He has helped us a couple of times https://www.absolutephotouk.com/ THE LACEMAKERSThe lacemakers have played a very important role at Josephina Lace from the beginning of its history. Their work and “art” are utterly appreciated and admired. TWO IS BETTER THAN ONE, THREE IS BETTER THAN TWO... AND A HANDFUL OF WOMEN SUPPORTING ONE ANOTHER IS EVEN BETTER Josephina Lace aims to put together a bigger group of women lacemakers - they are wives, mothers, grandmothers, daughters, sisters or divorcees with children - and create an association so that they can support and encourage one another, improve their trade skills and be able to get financial support from outside their group. In Poção, in the state of Pernambuco, making Renaissance lace is a tradition passed on from mother to children and even some men make it. There are ladies and gentlemen who are in their 90s and still draw or make the lace.
