“Poetry in Thread” celebrates one of our most delicate and beautiful textiles. This exhibit was shown throughout the Dr. Daniel Kissam House and introduced visitors to the history and technique of lace making from the 17th century to present day. Nearly 50 examples of beautiful hand and machine-made lace were on display, including several fine pieces from a collection of Kissam family lace, which were recently acquired from the descendants of Dr. Kissam.
