Dentelle de la Bse Zélie Martin, mère de Ste Thérèse.

Zélie Martin nous montre sa dentelle point d'Alençon et nous explique la fabrication.

During a costumed evening visiting the family possessions of the Martin & Guerin families, Zelie Martin explains her lacemaking business for the point d'Alencon. Her brother Isidore holds up a small square of paper and says it took 60 hours of labor and 9 lacemakers to produce a piece of lace the size of that square. Zelie assembled the pieces of lace into the finished product.
This was filmed in Lisieux on Oct. 16, 2008 during a costumed evening by candlelight at the St. Jacques Expo.
