There appears to be an article on JSTOR on this topic, but I can't access it at the moment. It could be a useful resource for expansion. Christopher Parham (talk) 22:18, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

You know nothing about kenmare lace, why do you keep editing it? Kenmare Lace is a piece of heritage from a region in southern Ireland, it's not a product or any kind of spam and kindly stop posting links to irrelevant material. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Finmix (talk • contribs) 23:04, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

The Kenmare Lace & Design Centre Houses pieces of antique lace, please stop deleting the references to it. How are people suppose to find out where you can see antique pieces of the lace if you keep deleting it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Finmix (talk • contribs) 22:21, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

I completely Disagree about this being merged with Irish lace, there are many forms of Irish Lace and all are completely different. for example Kenmare Lace is a needlepoint lace made with a needle and thread while bobbin lace is made with little sticks that have thread wapped around them and is made on a cushon. Limerick lace uses a Hook and is made on net while tatting uses a shuttle. the only things all these different types of lace have in common is that they all use thread. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Finmix (talk • contribs) 20:56, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

History of Kenmare lace
Lace making at Kenmare began when the nuns at the Convent of St Clare (established at Kenmare in 1861) were taught the techniques of lace making by the nuns from the Presentation Convent at Youghal (founded in 1834). Other convent schools that were taught at the same time were Kinsale, Waterford, Killarney, New Ross and Clonakilty. All the lace at that time was called Youghal (pronounced yawl) and was exhibited as such until World War 1. The nuns never recorded the techniques for making this lace. Under the influence of a Mr James Brenan c. 1884, the Convent Schools at Kenmare, Kinsale, Killarney and Youghal became, in effect, branches of the Cork School of Art. Hence the development of design at Kenmare. 'Kenmare Lace' is only a recent term.
